Important notice
Breastfeeding is the best way to nourish your baby. We recommend that you only use Kendamil Organic Toddler Milk on the advice of your doctor, pharmacist, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietician or other healthcare specialist, based on your baby's individual needs. When beaker feeding, do not allow prolonged contact of milk feeds with your baby's teeth as this increases the risk of tooth decay. Make sure your baby's teeth are cleaned each night after the last feed.
