Breast milk is the ideal food for infants. It protects against diarrhea, acute respiratory infections, and malnutrition. However, if you are unable to breastfeed, your doctor will recommend an infant formula suited to your child's nutritional needs. Do not change or stop using this milk without consulting your doctor. Breast milk, the exclusive food in the first weeks of life, remains the primary food for young children even as their diet diversifies. Follow-on milk should not be used as a substitute for breast milk during the first six months of life. The decision to introduce complementary foods, especially before six months of age, should only be made with advice from a healthcare professional.
