Note from GOLDFARMACI

Breastfeeding is the optimal source of nutrition for infants and is recommended as the primary feeding method whenever possible. Breast milk provides numerous health benefits and essential nutrients that support your baby’s growth and development. Before using this formula, please consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist to discuss your infant’s specific nutritional needs. Milk formula should be considered only when breastfeeding is not an option or is insufficient. Always follow the guidance of your healthcare professional regarding infant feeding.
