My baby is 5 days old . Can I change to formula even if he is on nevirapine?

Hi there,

To answer this properly it would be good to know why you want to change and which country you live in.

It is usually okay to change to formula feeding.

But please talk to your doctor or clinic about changing treatment.

This is because guidelines for feeding your baby are different in different countries.

You doctor can also talk about why you want to change.

It is not recommended to keep changing between breastfeeding and formula feeding.
