Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Yes you can change to NAN-1and the amount of milk required is 150 ml/kg body weight given in 2-3 hourly intervals about 8-10 times daily.
But in the first 15 days he may need more frequent feeds.
The baby cries inspite of feeding if the feed is insufficient or the duration between feeds is more or diluted feeds.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
PLease feel free to ask further queries if any.
