Suggest Formula Food For New Born
Question: We have a new born in our house and Doctor's suggested to provide the infant formula i.e. Enfamil A+. I saw that there are other products in market like NAN, DEXOLAC. which one is good for baby. My new born age is 20 days.
Brief Answer:
The one with minimal chemicals
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
It is better to buy the one with minimal chemicals. The presence of oils, milk powder, vitamins, iron and other minerals is fine, but we need to be careful about other chemicals that boost of increasing immunity etc like omega 3, 6, 9 etc. These chemicals can have unwanted side effects like irritability, git symptoms like diarhea etc.
So go to the store and pick the one that does not have these chemicals.
