You mean formula?

Only from a bottle ...

If we are talking breast milk then there is a big pro in getting it
draught as opposed to bottled

Do you mean a mother nursing an adult?

I am not sure if you are talking about baby milk or breast milk but I
will try to list pros and cons of both of them here. First of all
breast milk is the best for babies and formula is second best.
Pros ....
 1. Baby milk contains tons of vitamins and nutrients that would be
hard to get in a day in from our food.
2.  In breast milk 100 percent of the iron is absorbed into the body.
In formula only some of the iron is absorbed into the body.
3. It has a great electrolyte and protein count for the body.

Cons....
1. More than half of the calories from breast milk and formula are
from fat. Babies need this fat to grow and for the brain to grow and
develop properly. Adults however need low fat diets so we don't get
fat. Another reason  babies need this extra fat is for the extra
energy they need.

2. Coconut oil is even added to formula and it is a saturated fat.
Saturated fats can increase your cholestrol levels in your body.

3. Baby formula and breast milk taste horrible. I am not sure who
would be able to drink it or who would like it but cows milk tastes
much much better.

4. Another bad thing about baby formula is you CAN"T make it or
duplicate it in your home.

Overal it isn't necessary for adults to consume baby milk or formula
but vitamin supplements along with cow's milk can help a lot. One
reason babies can't drink cows milk is because they need the iron
found in formula and cow's milk is too hard for their digestive
system. I would recommend finding a health food store and adding
suppelments that are found in babys formula. Good luck
