Hello,
If I had a patient like this in my clinic I would suggest continuing with pro nan1 for few more days. It takes some time to adapt to the change in food for the baby.
It should not be a major concern. If he becomes more irritable kindly show him to your doctor as it can be due to other factors too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
