Formula feeding (health)


Feeding an infant or toddler prepared formula rather than breast-feeding, or in addition to breast-feeding. Formula feeding is indicated when the mother has an illness that could be passed on to the baby through breast milk or through the close physical proximity required for breast-feeding. Otherwise, experts in infant nutrition agree that breast-feeding is best.
