The whole question
Dear GroundUp
I’m HIV positive and my baby tested negative on her 6-week visit. Can I switch her to formula now? I’m going back to work and my milk flow is slow when I pump.
The long answer
The guidelines for breastfeeding vary. Sometimes circumstances change and you might need to change what you feed your baby and it is usually fine. But talking to your local HIV clinic will provide the best advice for when and how to go about this.
