i can't afford formula for my baby. what can i give him?

If affordability is an issue, there are several other options you can consider. You could try making your own formula or expressing and breast milk and combining them together. Breastfeeding is always the best option, but if you cannot do that, these are good alternatives. You can also try non-dairy-based formula, baby-led weaning, and foods like oatmeal, plain yogurt, or applesauce. Talk to your pediatrician for further guidance.
