Hi XXXXXXX
Happy new year!
Do not get confused !
This is just like buying different sarees!
All the milks are basically same,produced by different companies with small differences to market differently.
Nan pro, dexolac ,sma, enfamil all are basically same.
The protein and calorie contents are same.
Only some variations in added components which do not matter much!!
There is one more group of milk brands containing Soya milk instead of cows milk!
Whatever the child likes and takes nicely and does not cause problems is ideal for the baby.
Pease do not change the milk often unless really indicated due to loose stools ,etc.
By 6 months you can start weaning food like cerelac,semi solid feeds etc by which time milk intake will start to reduce gradually.
Good luck
God bless

Hello Doctor ,
Thank you so much for your best relief answer !!
One more doubt in bottle - which type of feeding bottle should we use ?
One suggest to use only - Glass or Steel Bottles ?
Second suggest to use - Good Brand bottles like Dr. Browns , Non-Colic Mother care etc.
Doctor advised not to use any kind of bottle. He instructed us to feed the baby with the spoon and bowl. Please clarify ?
Additionally , Today we did blood examination of our baby and the results are as follows:
HB : 9.2 gm%
TLC : 0000 per cubic mm
DLC :
Polymorphs ....40 %
Lymphocytes...54%
Monocytes....03%
Eosinophils...03%
Basophils... 00%
Kindly review and advice.
Warm Regards

Hi XXXXXXX
Glass bottles are the best.
Clean nicely and sterilise the bottles.
In India cup and spoon feeding is advised because of the worry about sterilising the bottle and to avoid stopping breast feeds !
So if you can be careful you can use glass bottles.
Regarding the blood test result there is mild anemia .
The baby needs some iron drops to be given which you can get prescribed by your doctor.
Take care
