POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. The best alternative to mother’s milk, especially in the first year of life, is infant formula milk. It is specially designed to mimic the nutrients in breast milk and is safe and recommended if breastfeeding is not possible. Some good options include:
Cow's milk-based formulas (most commonly used) Soy-based formulas (for lactose intolerance or milk allergy) Hydrolyzed or hypoallergenic formulas (for babies with protein allergies)
Important: Regular cow’s milk, buffalo milk, or plant-based milks (like almond, oat, or rice milk) are not suitable for babies under 1 year as they lack essential nutrients.
Always consult a pediatrician before starting any formula to choose the best one based on your baby’s needs.
