Brief Answer:
Suggestions on feeding an infant
Detailed Answer:
Hi....according to World Health Organization (WHO), the best thing for the baby is mother's milk.
But I do not suggest the use of Tetra pack milk.
Regarding alternative options -
1. You can use Lactogen 1 or Nan 1 or Dexolac stage 1.
2. Proper dilution is most important.
3. You have to add one unheaped scoop of powder to 30ml of water and give it by spoon or paladey.
4. DO NOT USE BOTTLE FOR FEEDING.
