Pediatrician,  's  Response
Let me mention that for a baby, mother's breast milk is the best possible food and there can be no alternatives for the same. Aavin or any other milk substitutes that are generally given, are based on cow milk and are difficult for the baby to digest, moreso if the baby was born preterm. NAN Pro 1 has certain nutrients added and removed to make it more like human milk and hence is suited better. Diluted aavin would be better than the normal one as the concentration of certain nutrients would be closer to human milk. Although external feeds cannot cause fever, sterility cannot often be maintained properly and hence becomes possible source of infection causing diarrhoea or fever. If possible, switch back to breast milk. Exclusive breast feeding is recommended upto 6 months of age.
