Formula Feeding Support

For a variety of different reasons, families choose, or may have to, formula feed their baby. 

Formula feeding requires knowledge and skills. It is important to properly sterilize equipment, and know how to safely prepare and store formula. It is also important to understand different types of formula available. Did you know that there are ways to feed your baby that will help reduce the risks associated with formula?
