Infant milk formula should be prepared and used as directed. Unnecessary or improper use of infant milk formula may present a health hazard. Social and financial implications should be considered when selecting a method of infant feeding.
As a manufacturer of infant milk formula, Aspen strives to uphold the International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes, as set-out by the World Health Organisation. The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for up to six months.
