A. thank you for reaching out to us with this question please note mother's milk is the best for your baby however for if any reason you are unable to go ahead with mothers milk and are required to give formula milk do not get overly concerned about that because mothers milk if unavailable the next best thing is formula milk so don't worry about it formula milk has been created as a substitute for mother's milk
