Suggest The Best Formula To Be Used For An Infant

Hi, which formula is good for one month baby lactogen 1 or similar advanced ? Doctor suggested me similac but because of higher price I am using lactogen. I can see my baby had some digestion problems with that. Please suggest me if I have to switch back to similac?

Hi you can use lactogen. There is no need to use Similac only. I will provide you with some tips which you may already know but they are worth paying attention to.
Make sure you are sterilizing the bottle prior to feeding your child.
As ur baby is 1 month old you can consider feeding your child with a clean cup and spoon rather than using a bottle.
Bottles are difficult to clean thoroughly also attract germs. If you must use a bottle sterilize the bottle in hot water. Also use clean water while diluting lactogen.
Take care.
I wish you and your child good health :)
