If you prefer to bottle-feed your baby with a commercially prepared formula, you can rest assured that your baby's nutritional requirements will be met.
Infant formulas supply the proper amounts of vitamins, proteins, sugars and fats.
You can derive a close emotional bond when you bottle-feed your baby by holding him close and cuddling with him. Your family doctor will usually recommend a formula made from cow's milk. Some formulas have very little iron or none at all. Some formulas also are made of soy milk instead of cow's milk. If your baby seems to be allergic to formula made from cow's milk, your doctor may suggest using a soy-milk formula.
