You can try making your own formula, which requires mixing non-dairy milk of any type (rice, soy, oat, coconut), plus a vitamin and mineral supplement, with scant boiling water according to your baby's age and quantity needs. Be sure to consult a medical professional before making your own formula to be sure it is appropriate for your baby and that you are using safe, sanitary practices. You can also try saving up to purchase store-bought milk formula or look for formula samples and subsidized options in your area.
