Does NAN Perlagon Cause Acid Reflux In Infants?

Hi. I m breastfeeding my 9 week old baby but im not producing enough milk as she gets hungry very quickly and doesn t sleep for long. I decided to supplement once a feed with formula. I started on S26 And she had diarrhoea and her eczema got worse so I stopped.i then used NAN HA but she got heavily constipated and threw up alot. The paed suggested NAN perlagon. Will this not give her more problems with reflux as I hear perlagon is acidified. Please help

Hi, since your kid is just 9 weeks old, try as much as possible to breast feed your baby. As you would know it has antibodies and hence would give lot of immunity to your baby. I will give you some tips which might help. Do not feed your baby every time he cries. That is similar to binge eating. Feed him every 2 hrly for at least 45 min. I hope you are taking at least 2 lts. Of water. Be in a positive frame of mind. Things would be fine.

Well as to giving NAN perlagon, I think it would not cause much problem. If all your above efforts fail then you can give this. Burp the baby properly. Make him sleep at an inclination of 45 degrees and let his head be turned to a side and not straight up. This would avoid your baby from vommiting. If the baby is putting on weight inspire of vommiting then day not about it.

Hope your query is answered. Tc
