HOW MUCH ?
HOW ?
Breast feeding for all infants is
the BEST
But if it is impossible,
A formula, as compositionally
close to breast milk as possible
is desirable
WHEN ?
1- SUBSTITUTIVE : NO BREAST MILK
• Mother absent or unwilling to breast-feed
• Failure of lactation : no or very little milk
• Nurseries and institutes
2- BREAST + FORMULA TOGETHER

• Complementary: if amount is not sufficient
• Supplementary : for working mothers, twins
