chosen.content: If you are unable to afford formula for your baby, there are other options available. Breastmilk or substitute human milk is always the best choice for your baby, and you may be able to obtain this milk from a milk bank or a donor. You may also choose to make your own infant formula using formula concentrate, water, and vitamins. You can also make formula using expressed breast milk, if available. Other options include buying cheaper formula, stretching one can of formula by using a mixer, or making your own formula from scratch. Make sure to discuss all your options with your baby's doctor.

rejected.content: You can try making your own formula, which requires mixing non-dairy milk of any type (rice, soy, oat, coconut), plus a vitamin and mineral supplement, with scant boiling water according to your baby's age and quantity needs. Be sure to consult a medical professional before making your own formula to be sure it is appropriate for your baby and that you are using safe, sanitary practices. You can also try saving up to purchase store-bought milk formula or look for formula samples and subsidized options in your area.
