Breast Milk Is Not Sufficient For My Baby And Giving Lactogen. Anything Better Than Lactogen?

My Siva is Siva.My girl baby is 23 days old and breast milk is insufficient for her and cries for milk, so we are also giving Lactogen after the breast milk. Can you suggest is Nestle's NAN Pro 1 or any other is better than Lactogen. And im residing in south India and the formula should be easily available as well.

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM.
There is no actual substitute for the breast milk.
Advantages of breast milk are numerous.
Problems with top milk are in numerous.
Better to avoid top feeds.
Take good protein diet , Plenty of pulses. Plenty of fluids.
Think your self confidently that you can feed your child your self only.
Regular adequate weight gain of the child is the good indicator for the sufficient milk production.
Formula you wrote is available every where in India.
Bottle to be avoided for formula milk .more hygienic way is to give by bowel and spoon.
Hope the query is answered with little counseling.
Thanks
