Breast feeding is best for baby. Get your eczema cured and start feeding.. Lactogen 1 can be used as substitute but only when used properly. Prepare the milk by adding 30ml water to i scoop of the powder, maintain this ratio when preparing milk. Try to feed with cup spoon, as the nipple of the bottle are notorious to cause infection. If bottle is used boil the nipple after every feed. Lastly always discard any left over milk... you can give Lactogen as many times as you want only depending on the demand of the baby.
