NAFDAC recognizes the critical importance of ensuring the safety, quality, and proper regulation of breastmilk substitutes in line with the national implementation plan of International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes to safeguard the health and well-being of infants. This page serves as a comprehensive resource, offering guidance on the selection, preparation, and use of breastmilk substitutes, as well as outlining the regulations and standards governing their production, distribution, and marketing.
Our aim is to promote the adoption of appropriate feeding practices that prioritize breastfeeding whenever possible, while also providing support and guidance to parents and healthcare professionals when the use of breastmilk substitutes becomes necessary.
