Formula Feeding

Although experts believe breast milk is the best 

nutritional choice for infants.




But Breastfeeding may not be possible for all women.

Sometimes Mothers thinks that if they don't 

breastfeed, they won't bond with their baby. But this

is not true, loving mothers will always create a 

special bond with their children.Women who opt to 

formula feed don't have to worry about the things 

they eat or drink that could affect their babies.

  • Make sure all bottles, nipples, and other utensils should clean. Boil them in water before use .
  • Boil water for making formula milk and leave it to cool for no longer than half an hour.
  • Pour the exact amount of water into the bottle.
