Question

I am unable to breast feed, what should I do?

Answer

If you are unable or choose not to breast feed, infant or follow on formula is the only suitable alternative to breast milk. Your baby will need breast milk or formula milk until at least 12 months old. Cows' milk is not suitable as a drink until your baby is a year old because it contains too much salt and protein, and not enough iron and other nutrients, to meet your baby's needs.
