Hi, I have a baby. she completed 3 months. I used to give breast milk only, but even after feeding for 20to 30mints she use to be sucking her fingers. so can I start to give some amount of lactogen. May I the quantity for lactogen should i give and how many times a day should i give. or after every breast feed should I give some amount of lactogen. Please suggest me on this. Also to get more breast milk. she is stil 4.150 kg. Bit worried about it plese help me.
Please note that breast milk is the best alternative for a baby and there can be no substitutes for the same. You should give exclusive breastfeeding to a child till 6 months of age. No formula, no matter how costly it is, is good enough. Formula feeds are cow milk based which is difficult for a human child to digest. So I will strongly advocate against formula feeds. Hence, I am not commenting on how much lactose should be given. Breast milk is produced in response to the children suckling. If the child is more hungry, it will suck more and more breast milk will be produced, and the child will automatically get what is needed. If you give formula feeds the hunger would be reduced and hence breast milk production will also come down. So please do not do that.
