Pediatrician,  's  Response
Please continue breast feeding even in such a condition. Please note that breast milk is the best alternative for a baby and there can be no substitutes for the same. No formula, no matter how costly it is, is good enough. Formula feeds are cow milk based which is difficult for a human child to digest and so she is vomiting. So I will strongly advocate against formula feeds. In case there is no other alternative, only then give formula feeds. NAN is a better alternative than Lactogen and manufactured by the same company Nestle.
