If formula is not affordable, there are alternatives such as breastfeeding, using expressed breast milk, making homemade baby formula, or purchasing economical brand infant formula. There are resources available to help moms save money on infant formula if needed. Some mothers also choose to use substitutes such as cow's milk, almond milk or soy-based formulas.

Exclusively breastfeeding is the recommended option for nursing infants, however in some cases formula may be necessary if affordable. If formula is a necessity, there are alternative low-cost options that you can explore. There are several formulas available, such as discount store brands or generic versions of major brand formulas. Check to see if they offer samples or lower-cost options. You can also check with your local food pantry or health clinic to see if they have donated formula. Another option is to join a program like WIC or the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children which may provide free formula depending on your income level.
