Choosing how you feed your baby is a really important decision!

If you want to consider formula feeding your baby, ask your midwife or other maternity carer for information to help you make an informed choice.

If you are not breastfeeding, an age-appropriate formula is the only acceptable alternative until your baby is 12 months old.
