Breastfeeding Disclaimer

This section of the website contains information on Nurture and infant formula products.

Before you enter this section, please read this Important Information:

Breastfeeding is best for babies. Breast milk provides the ideal balanced nutrition and protection for babies. A healthy balanced diet is important to help mothers prepare for and maintain breastfeeding. Introducing partial bottle feeding may adversely affect breastfeeding by reducing the supply of breast milk and reversing a decision not to breastfeed is difficult.  Infant formula should be prepared and used as directed because unnecessary or improper use can be harmful to the health of the baby. Social and financial implications, such as issues of convenience and cost to the household, should be considered before selecting a method of feeding.

If you are considering using infant formula, it is important to discuss this with a health professional. 

This information about infant formula is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
