Firstly I would like to know the age of ur baby.. If less than 6month ideally shpul be on exclusive breastfeeding on demand.. If for any reason breastfeeding is not possible 2nd best alternative is formula milk which is better than cow milk and is better tolerated.. If by chance due to some issues you can't give formula milk give cows milk..
Next Steps
stress more on hygiene of equipment and method of administration of milk
