Brief Answer:
NOTHING TO WORRY.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Nothing to worry sir, This is quite usual to demand feeds by the babies often and babies can not be kept hungry for a long time.
Now days this recommendation of keeping the babies without feeds for some times after oral polio drop do not apply.
I would like to advice you to go for the IPV (injectable polio)also along with OPV as IPV is strongly recommended at present scenario of POLIO FREE XXXXXXX
You can discuss with your pediatrician for IPV
Hope the query is answered.
thanks

Brief Answer:
ALL ARE MORE OR LESS SAME
Detailed Answer:
HI,
If the weight gain of the baby is continuous and according to the age with the mother's milk then it means that the top milk is not required at all. Baby should be nursed with breast only. Because breast milk is the beast milk for the babies . There are in numerous advantages of breast milk for the babies.
Top milk to be used only when there is very significant contraindication for breast feeding ( sickness of mother/nonavailability of mother).
Hope the query is answered.

Brief Answer:
Try to maintain the gap of two to three hours
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Some babies are always in demand of milk, just to satisfy their insecurity/habit/dependency babies want always to be stick with breast of mother though they have taken enough milk required.
One should develop habit of feeding babies in 2 to 3 hourly gap. In this way mother is able to supply ample amount of milk to the baby and babies are satisfied.
Still if one wants to give formula milk then there are different companies with different formulas. All are more or less same practically like lactogen, nan 1, lactodex, etc.
