Is Nan Pro 1 Formula Safe For A 3 Months Old Baby?
Question: My baby boy is 3 mo old. I breastfed him for nearly 3 mo. But my milk supply is less now. Also I need to get back to work within next 10days.
We have been trying to feed him NAN Pro1 with bottle since 40 days but he is resisting very much.
Baby is sucking his fingers almost day and night. He gets hungry and cries a lot but doesnt take bottle. His wt is 5.5 kg since a month. No improvement. I doubt if we can feed with small spoon as he is unable to swallow.
I started giving pacifier today but please advice what can i do ?
Thanks and regards.
