If a baby cannot get breast milk, it’s important to ensure they receive adequate nutrition for growth and immunity. ### Alternative Feeding Options1. Infant Formula Milk: - Specially designed formulas mimic breast milk nutrients. - Brands like Enfamil, Similac, and Nestlé NAN are widely used. - Follow exact preparation instructions. 2. Donor Milk: - If available, human milk banks provide screened and safe donor breast milk. 3. Supplementary Feeding: - For older infants (6+ months), formula or mashed/soft foods rich in iron, protein, and vitamins. ### Important Guidelines- Use sterilized bottles and nipples to prevent infection. - Feed on demand if formula feeding. - Avoid cow’s milk before 1 year unless recommended by a pediatrician. - Monitor weight gain and hydration. Tip: Always consult a pediatrician before starting formula, to choose the right type and amount for your baby’s age. Summary: Formula feeding, donor milk, or a pediatrician-guided diet ensures babies without breast milk still thrive.
