As my milk is not sufficient for her nowadays.Can i use lactogen2 to mix nestum? And also Please suggest me healthy food for baby and how much amount of lactogen2 i need to give instead of my milk.
Hi... At this age you can start giving Carla stage one rice or Nestum rice stage 1 etc. All are same in calories and energy. Only thing is palatability which is subjective for each kid. Lactose 2 can be used, no problem. Quantity has to be decided by the baby and give the baby as much as she can consume. Other home-made food options will be - 1. Deal and rice well cooked and made into a oatmeal along with ghee2. Boiled apple or banana and mashed into a paste.3. Any made cereal oatmeal preparation with additional ghee added. Remember certain principles like -1. Add one food material / cereal or fruit per week. This will be useful because if he develops vomiting or diarrhea, we will know what to avoid.2. Add vegetables and fruits made into a paste surely to avoid constipation.3. Do not add too much sugar as it may cause diarrhea. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time.
