Milk Substitute for Those Who Consume Non-Jewish Milk

Question

I live in London, and the prices for kosher infant milk substitutes are very high. Is it permissible for me to give my baby a milk substitute that is kosher for those who consume non-Jewish milk (which costs about half the price of Chalav Yisrael)?

Answer

Hello,

According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Ovadia Fried, shlita, despite the price, one should strive to purchase Chalav Yisrael for him.
