Do BF babies really get sick less often?

I've read this a few times in various places.

Is this actually statistically proven?

Just curious.

DS has only ever had one tiny stuffy nose back when he started DC, but nothing since then *knock on wood!*. My nephew, who is 6 weeks older than DS and formula fed, has already been through numerous colds and ear infections. They go to the same DC.
