Feeding non-breastfed babies

What to do when you are not breastfeeding your baby

If you're not breastfeeding your baby, she’ll need to eat more often. She'll also need to rely on other foods and milk products, including Ultra-Heat Treated (UHT) animal milk to get all the nutrition her body needs.

• Start to give your baby solid foods at 6 months of age, just as a breastfed baby would need. Begin with two to three spoonfuls of soft and mashed food four times a day, which will give her the nutrients she needs without breastmilk.

• From 6–8 months old, she’ll need half a cup of soft food four times a day, plus a healthy snack.

• From 9–11 months old, she’ll need half a cup of food four to five times a day, plus two healthy snacks.
