Cow & Gate fully supports the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation that infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life and continued breast-feeding up to two years and beyond, combined with the safe introduction of appropriate complementary foods. However, when parents cannot or choose not to breastfeed, Cow & Gate offers a range of products formulated to an infant’s specific stage.
The Cow & Gate range includes First Infant milks, Follow on milks and Toddler milks. Products for the dietary management of extremely low birthweight infants are also available, and our specialised products formulated for bottle-fed infants diagnosed with common infant feeding issues including colic, constipation, reflux and regurgitation.
At Cow & Gate, we are proud to support parents and healthcare professionals throughout Ireland, with over 135 years of experience.

Breastfeeding is best. Infant milk is suitable from birth, when babies are not breastfed.

We advise that the use of formula milks and the decision to start weaning should be made only on the advice of a doctor, dietitian, pharmacist or other professional responsible for maternal and child care based on baby’s individual needs. Use Toddler milk as part of a varied, balanced diet from 1 year. Foods for special medical purposes should only be used under medical supervision.
