Brief Answer:
try similac advanced
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Breastfeeding is best for the baby and exclusive breastfeeding is recommended till 6 months.
Try increasing liquid intake in mother, try feeding frequently. As baby suckles more, breastfeeding will increase.
However if your baby really needs formula, lactogen and nan pro are almost similar. Stools will be hard in both.
It is because of palmolein based formula in both.
The only formula which does not have this palmolein fat is similac advanced. Stools will be softer and comparable to breastfed babies.
I would suggest you to try and breast feed more, if not adequate, add similac advanced stage 1.

Dr Arun

Adding sugar is notrecommended at this age.
