When mothers cannot or choose not to breastfeed, specially formulated infant milks are available. It is recommended infant milk formulas be only used on the advice of a baby health professional. Cow’s milk is not recommended for your baby’s main milk under the age of 12 months. Cost should be a serious consideration when deciding how to feed your baby. If you are considering changing from exclusive breastfeeding to partial bottle-feeding, talk to your baby health professional first. It is not easy to go back once you have made the change, as partial bottle-feeding will reduce your milk supply. It is important to your baby’s health to follow the preparation instructions of the infant formula exactly.
