What Is The Right Proportion Of Dexolac To Be Given To A Baby?
Hi, I have 13 days old daughter. I am feeding her with Dexolac special care as she is underweight and is a premature baby. Please let me know how long can we keep the Dexolac preparation ? Also let me know, if we can prepare it in bulk and preserve it in a thermos flask ? Will it be safe for my baby?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
You can give dexolac special care till he picks up weight appropriate for his age.
Prepare dexolac milk just before feeding each time.
You can not preserve the prepared milk.
It is not safe for your baby
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
