Non-Jewish Milk for an Infant

Question

Hello, An infant who cries incessantly, and it is possible that using a certain formula that is not Mehadrin (i.e., non-Jewish milk) might help. It's not certain it will help, but there is a good chance it will. Only after trying it will we know if it is good for her or not. Is it considered necessary for the infant, and can it be given?

Answer

Hello

It is permitted for the feeding of the infant. 

Even if it is not clear that it will help.
