My baby is 24days old. Initially he was in Nursery for 10days .As my breast milk is not sufficient for him I gave him lactozen. His weight was 2.3 at the time of birth & later 12days his weight was 2.57. I would like to know how can I gain his weight & which formula milk will help him to gain weight Enfamil or Similac?? Breast milk option is not working here. Can I change lactogen after 1month??

A. You can go for formula milk consumption for your child after medical consultation with your dr. You can go for any brand which is easily digestible by the child but if the child is not able to digest and has colic pain vomiting and loose motion or constipation due to a particular formula milk it is advisable to change the brand. Also if one brand is going on it is advisable to continue the same brand and do not switch to different brands again and again because many times it can lead to digestion problem. c So if a particular brand is well digested kindly continue that particular brand of formula milk x You have to follow demand feeding that is if the child demands more milk you can gradually increase the quantity you have to give only demand feeding to the child that is whenever the child feels hungry you can give milk to the child and the child will take the milk according to the need and then will leave the milk. if the child is taking more milk you can offer milk in more quantity with intermittent burping . there is no need to to go for hourly feeding pattern. also there is no need to wake up the child from sleep if the weight of thex child is within normal limits .
