Formula milk for babies has become quite common today. However, there is no substitute for breast milk. It is the healthiest option and it contains essential nutrients like carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals and other antibodies that contribute to the overall growth of the baby. If for some reason breast milk is not available, then formula milk can be used. Proper hygiene should be maintained before preparing the milk. Washing of hands, usage of clean utensils and following of all instructions given on the packet are of utmost importance. Fresh milk should be used and leftovers must be discarded. Nipple bottles should not be used for feeding in such cases. Dr. Bidisha Sarkar, Paediatrician from Hyderabad, discusses what to know before feeding formula milk to babies.
