Along with a host of benefits from human milk, cows milk has been implicated as a trigger for Type 1 diabetes in children.
From the American Academy of pediatrics:
"Human milk is species-specific, and all substitute feeding preparations differ markedly from it, making human milk uniquely superior for infant feeding"
If you want the specifics:

Now, the "New" science might say that human milk is only good for the baby if it comes from a grass fed mom -- but it might be hard to find one of those... (please forgive my cynicsm of the "New" science...)
My view isn't scientific by any means, just intuitive. Human milk is for human babies. Cow's milk is for bovine (calves); at some point the calves are weaned and move on to other foods more appropriate. Seems reasonable to me that human babies should also be migrated to other sources of nutrition.
