The Health Department advises that breast milk provides all vitamins for growth and health. If using modified cow milk, boil it to destroy germs and soften curd, then supplement with orange juice between meals beginning at one month old. If unavailable, tomato or swede juice may substitute to prevent vitamin C deficiency.
