How Long Should Lactogen Be Given For A Preemie?
My baby is a premature, and breast feed is not there because of no milk, now he is 1 year old. up to 7 months we have given lactogen and 7 months onwards we are giving light black tea and juice. Any problem will happen in future because of not giving lacogen. now he is only 8.5 kg.

Lactogen or the formulla milk is not necessary at this age. He can be tried any milk.
But weaning with semisoilds is of utmost importance and should be encouraged with special care and should also be given due importance to get the desired weight gain from a primie. Gradually milk to be tapered off and semisopild to be incerased
Hope the query is answered.
