Is there any special care we should take for these type babies? 6. If we should continues breast milk + dexolac, how many ml we should give for wight wise? 7. Till one and half month we have used to feed feeding bottle milk than breast feed is this problem for baby in future? Please give suggentions for our question and baby problems we are worrying about baby facing problem. Thanks regards, Murali(Baby Father)
