Brief Answer:
Do not use supplements till 6months

Detailed Answer:
Hi...

Thank you for your post.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

Who advised Nan 1? Was it the pediatrician or are you trying to supplement yourself?

Supplements are not recommended till 6 months of age. Mothers milk contain all essential nutrients required by the baby. Doctor do not advice even water as a supplement. It's likely that the child is not tolerating Nan and hence is not advisable to continue.
Your baby's body demand will increase after 6 months. To meet this demand you can add on supplements as advised by your doctor. BUT NEVER BEFORE 6 MONTHS.
I hope I have cleared your doubts.

Kindly get back to me if you have further query.

Take care. Bye.
