Do you feed regular milk to your baby? I am sure it sholud be ok, but probably lacking some nutrients in it

Why people in HK want to fight for milk formula?
so I guess you are talking about why not breast-feeding instead? Some moms do experience difficulties to produce enough milk to feed her baby, and some mom needs to go back to work and they don't have the time to pump milk every 3 hours or so. Unlike Canada, HK doesn't have a 1 year maternity leave. Even for breast-feeding moms, they still need to rely on formula as a supplement sometimes
   
You are a dad, and you don't know all these @__@?

You did not even read what I said in that post and you ask me again why HK people don't like to breast feed. I think you are just bias on HK moms

There are two reasons why the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages the use of cow's milk under one year of age: allergies and iron- deficiency anemia. The intestinal lining is slower to mature in some babies than others. While lactose intolerance is rare in infants, some toddlers and older children can develop diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain, because of their inability to digest the lactose sugar in milk. Also, the allergic proteins may seep through the irritated intestinal lining into the bloodstream and cause an allergic reaction, such as a runny nose, wheezing, or a red, raised, sandpaper-like rash, especially on the cheeks. Some babies who are allergic to cow's milk can even get frequent ear infections.

Iron-deficiency anemia is another problem, as there is very little iron in cow's milk. If baby is allergic to the cow's milk protein, the irritated intestines may consistently lose a tiny bit of blood into baby's stools.
