At What Age Lactogen 3 Can Be Started?

At what age Lactogen 3 can be started? when to start lactogen3 ? I purchased a lactogen 3 and it says that it is for babies above 12 months. I found another lactogen 3 tin which says it can be used after 10 months. The colours of the packing differs. In lactogen 3 it is recommended that we switch over to lactogen 3. It is really confusing. and what isthe maximum age limit to fed lectogin 3

You probably are talking about Lactogen 3 - Follow-up Formula Powder apart from Lactogen 3 and hence the difference in colour of packets. Both of them are meant for babies aged above 12 months. You have not mentioned the age of your child and hence it is difficult to comment on whether these can be given to your baby. For a baby above 6 months of age, any milk is not essential but it is ok to be given. What the baby needs is the mashed version of adult food low on spices. Its nutritive value is more than that of any formula feed. So I would not suggest any switch over to such a thing. There is no maximum limit as in any case it soon gets replaced by home made food.
