***Estimated number of feeds across first six months of life - we have factored in the recommended amount of feeds per day and included any adjustments as the baby ages in the first six months as recommended by the on-pack dosage instructions.
****Estimated total cost over six months (176 days) - we use the cost per gram of feed and the number of grams consumed to give us a total cost of feeding a baby over six months.
Important notice: Breastfeeding is best for babies. It is important that, in preparation for and during breastfeeding, mothers eat a healthy, balanced diet. Combined breast and bottle feeding in the first weeks of life may reduce the supply of breast milk.
