Should I feed my baby formula?
Breastfeeding is best for babies and has many benefits for both you and your baby. It is important that you eat a healthy well-balanced diet in preparation for and during breastfeeding.
If you are considering changing over from breastfeeding or combining breast and bottle feeding, talk to your pediatrician first. Once the decision to stop breastfeeding has been made, it is difficult to go back. Partial bottle feeding with infant milk, especially in the first few weeks, may reduce the supply of your breastmilk. The cost and social implications of using formula milk should be considered. If you decide to use infant formula make sure you do your research and pick the best quality formula for your baby.
If you use formula milk, it is very important that you use infant milk throughout the first year (or follow on milks can be used from 6 months). It is important that you follow all usage instructions very carefully. Failure to choose an appropriate feed or to use it incorrectly can be harmful to your baby’s health.
