Breastfeeding is the best for babies and a healthy diet / maternal nutrition is important when breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to reverse. Infant formula is suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed. It is recommended that all formula milks be used on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian, pharmacist, or other professional responsible for maternal and child care and the financial implications should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions should be followed carefully as inappropriate preparation could lead to health hazards.

"I give my boy at about 18 mths to try. You can buy the original flavour as it is not too sweet but again give only once a week."
Shuling answered:
"Thank you for your question! Each child’s individual gut bacteria profile is unique. If you wish to introduce Yakult to your child, we would suggest introducing small amounts of Yakult in moderation. There are children who start as early as 1 year old. In addition, we would encourage your child to drink water rather than Yakult as Yakult contain lots of sugar. Water will quench thirst better, and excessive sugar can be damaging for developing teeth."
