Can Lactodex Be Given Along With Breast Milk?

As my prematurely born baby is not taking my breastmilk properly, so please advise if I can continue giving Lactodex LBW feed along with little breast milk. Are there any side effects? Current age of my baby who was born in 33rd week, is 5.5 weeks. Thanks

premature baby have difficulty in breast feeding , you can express your milk and give by spoon. the advantage of this type of feeding is that your milk production will continue and when baby grow she will take directly from your breast. if your milk production is less then you can temperately give Lactodex LBW. do not forget to give calcium and vit D supplement i like to have more information regarding the baby. what was her birth weight and present weight. was she admitted at time of birth, if yes duration of admission and discharge weight .
