information SERVICE DETAILS

Out FREE infant formula milk programme is available to all new or expecting parents living with HIV.

Free infant formula milk

To prevent the transmission of HIV to new-born babies, official guidelines recommend that people living with HIV do not breast/chestfeed and instead exclusively formula feed their babies.

However, formula milk is an expensive option that some parents struggle to afford. Commonly available powdered formulas can cost anything from £30-£60 per month depending on the brand and that’s before you factor in the additional costs of bottles and sterilisers.​

To overcome this barrier, Waverley Care can provide free formula milk for babies from birth up to age one.

WE PROVIDE

- 4 tins of formula a month for the first year of baby’s life
- Free bottles and sterilising equipment
- Flexible collection and delivery options
- Free and confidential support services

HOW TO ACCESS

If you are living with HIV and are pregnant, speak to your HIV specialist nurse about a referral or get in touch with us for information and advice.
