thanks for your question. please do not use cow milk. it is not the closest combination to human milk. please use formula feed or buy a breast pump and use your own expressed breast milk. cow milk can produce allergy plus it lacks DHA....also protiens are different...so please start on formula with dilution as directed.
expressed breast milk is a good option and you can keep in freezer for 24 hours.
