Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My baby boy is 5 months old. He is born in USA. Apart from breast milk he also take Similac formula. I was planing to travel to india. My question is can i give him Lactogen (sold in India) or should i stock up Similac for him.. Which one of the two will be more nutritious for him.( like fortified with DHA and other nutrients)
If your baby is used to one kind of formula milk, I would suggest to continue the same as transitioning may bring about some changes in his bowel habits. However, if no alternative is available you may make the change gradually. Some labels of Similac are available in India in certain stores or online.

Can Giving Lactogen Instead Of Similac Be Safe?
Hello! If your baby is used to one kind of formula milk, I would suggest to continue the same as transitioning may bring about some changes in his bowel habits. However, if no alternative is available you may make the change gradually. Some labels of Similac are available in India in certain stores or online. Hope this helps. Regards, Dr Geeta
