Breast milk is the best milk followed by formula milk like nan followed by lactogen followed by cows milk. U can store expressed breast milk in fridge and give it to baby in mothers absence.If still needed then supplement with formula milk by wait spoon ( no bottle ).

Hi....according to World Health Organization, breast milk is THE BEST for the baby till 6 months of age. But as you have a special situation here.... I suggest you give Lactogen 1 each unheaped scoop mixed in 30ml of water and feed by spoon or paladey. Avoid bottle feeding.
I suggest you not to use cows milk till atleast 1 year of age.
