Breast milk provides the optimal nutrition for infants. Where infant formula is used, either in conjunction or in place of breast milk, it is important that families are supported in feeding their baby.

The current market has an ever-increasing range of available infant formulas. This presentation offers an overview of the types of formula milks that parents can purchase and which are positioned as suitable from birth.

The range of formula milks is examined rather than individual brands, with the aim of increasing understanding so that parental questions can be answered and practical support offered effectively.
