Can Lactogen Cause Diarrhea In An Infant?
My Son is 3 weeks plus and ahas been using Lactogen 1 as the mother breast feeding do not suffice. Bust for the past few day he has been having a loose stool after having been given Lactogen 1 though this is not the case when breast fed normally. What may be the cause ? What is the alternative bearing in mind that the mothers milk is not sufficient ? Thanks, Chris

breast milk is the best milk for baby . usually mother milk is sufficient for the baby , its is just about building in yourself that you can feed your baby well and the milk output will be fine . if milk is prepared hygenically lactogen 1 per se does not cause diarrhoea. try to prepare the milk morre hygenically with the proper dilution.otherwise you can use full cream milk without dilution.
i hope this satisfies you
