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.
Now my baby is 7 months old and i am giving Lactogen-2 for her, I came to know that lactogen will cause some harm to the child teeth, Is this true? please clarify me. Otherwise can i go for Buffalo milk? Which is better lactogen or buffalo milk? Please advise me
THANKS FOR QUERY. When child is constantly places the nipple in their mouth carbohydrate remains the prolonged time that causes dental caries otherwise that is not harmful. Mothers milk has no substitute . As your child is 7 month old and thriving on formula feed lactogen 2 is good option as it is better formulated for human child than buffalo milk. Cows milk is better than buffalo milk for child, now you can go for cow's milk. HOPE THAT HELPS.
Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic. Lactogen do not cause harm to the teeth. you can continue the same along with Cerelac as your baby is 7 months old. You can use buffello milk also if you want,but 3:1 dilution i.e., 3 parts milk and i part water. Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
