For Replacement Feeding we have a term and definition in HIV and AIDs.

Replacement Feeding (HIV and AIDs)

The process of feeding a child who is not receiving any breast milk with a diet that provides all the nutrients the child needs. During the first 6 months this should be with a suitable breast-milk substitute--commercial formula, or home-prepared formula with micronutrient supplements. After 6 months it preferably should be with a suitable breast-milk substitute and complementary foods made from appropriately prepared and nutrient-enriched family foods, given three times a day. If suitable breast-milk substitutes are not available, appropriately prepared family foods should be further enriched and given five times a day.
