Is Cow S Milk Advisable For A Premature Baby?
We have baby girl 55 days old who is premature baby and her weight is 2kg in birth. Now her weight is increased to 2.550. Breast milk is not enough for my baby. We would like to try with diluted cow milk (1:1 dilution). I want to know whether cow milk is good or formulated milk powder (pre nan ) is good.
