Breastfeeding is the best source of nutrients for infants. Novalac supports the World Health Organization’s health recommendations for exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to 2 years of age. Good maternal nutrition is essential for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. The introduction of partial bottle feeding may have a negative effect on breastfeeding. When infant formula is to be used, mothers should be aware of the financial and social implications of formula feeding. Inappropriate use of infant formula may lead to health hazards. A healthcare professional should be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
