Hi, my baby is 4weeks old. Im giving my baby expressed milk, and when i dont have enough milk, i give him Isomil. Im scared i wont have enough milk during the night for him, and ive got 2 Feedings left of isomil. Will it be a problem if i give him NAN if I run out of milk?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
Yes one can go for any powdered milk if there is insufficient mothers milk.
Insufficient breast milk can only be justified if the baby is not gaining weight appropriate for the age.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
