Question: how long does it take for infant to digest breast milk?
Answer: The protein in breastmilk is easily digested The protein in your milk will form softer curds in your baby's stomach than does the protein in infant formula (most of which are based on cow's or goat's milk or soy). Breastmilk is digested in shorter time (approx 1.5 hours) compared to infant formula (approx 3 - 4 hours).
