Pediatrician,  's  Response
Let me emphasize on the fact that the breast milk is the best possible feed for your baby. As the production of breast milk depends on the sucking of the baby which in turn depends on the baby's hunger, if you give top feeds, the hunger comes down and so does the amount of breast milk produced.

If you give NAN Pro 1, it is to be given as per the demand of the baby. Typically, babies of this age take around 4 ounces of feed 6-8 times a day but the amount can vary from baby to baby. It is to be prepared by mixing one scoopful of formula in one ounce of lukewarm water to reach proper concentration.
