Dried Milk
Many brands of dried milk are available. They differ slightly in their formulas, but their nutritional value is very similar. Some are reputed to be a closer imitation of mother’s milk, but it is only by a matter of degree. However, there are differences in the chemistry of the ingredients. Some which have been sold widely are now known not to be suitable for babies (they are known technically as “low solute” milks). You should check with your doctor for up-to-date details. Milks also tend to differ a good deal in their taste. If you are having trouble getting your baby to accept his bottle, it may be that he does not like the brand you have chosen. Experiment with one or two others until you find one he enjoys. However, if you have to try more than two or three the problem may be a more general feeding difficulty, and you should consult your doctor.
If the milk does not come out of the bottle fast enough for your baby, you can either enlarge the hole in the nipple with a red hot needle (do not just poke at the edge of the hole with a cold needle or you will leave a ragged edge, which could harbor stale milk and germs) or buy another nipple with a larger hole. The milk should drip from a bottle at the rate of three drops a second.
