Fresh cow’s milk, goat’s milk or sheep’s milk etc. are not suitable for babies who are less than 1 year of age as these do not contain the type of nutrients that baby needs. Powdered formula milk is better as these have been modified to suit the needs of the baby. They are usually made from skimmed cow’s milk and treated in such a way that babies can digest it. Vitamins, minerals, vegetable oils and fatty acids are added so that these meet the requirement of babies. Many different brands of powdered milk for infants are available in the market; you can use any of these. You should take your doctor’s advice to know if your preferred brand is appropriate for your baby.
