Bottlefeeding an Infant
Bottlefeeding is a substitute for breast milk for feeding infants. Pediatricians advise breastfeeding (that is, breastfeeding with no formula) for a full-term, healthy infants for the first 6 months of life. However, many infants are formula-fed today, at least in part.
Background on Formulas:
1. Milk-based formulas are prepared from cow milk with added vegetable oils, vitamins, minerals, and iron. These formulas are suitable for most healthy full-term infants. 2. Soy-based formulas are made from soy protein with added vegetable oils (for fat calories) and corn syrup and/or sucrose (for carbohydrate). These formulas are suitable for infants who cannot tolerate the lactose in most milk-based formulas or who are allergic to the whole protein in cow milk and milk-based formulas. 3. Special formulas are for low birth weight (LBW) infants, low sodium formulas for infants that need to restrict salt intake, and "predigested" protein formulas for infants who cannot tolerate or are allergic to the whole proteins (casein and whey) in cow
