Hi my son is 2 months old and I have been breast feeding him followed by top feed of formula. The formula suggested by my doc as top feed was dexolac special care as it was the easiest on digestive system. I know this is for premature babies and my baby is not premature. Is it okay to continue this as top feed?
Thanks for your query on Chat Doctor. Up to 6 month of age child should not be given anything other than breast milk. Food supplements need to be given only in premature babies or which is not gaining weight even after enough breastfeeding. I suggest monitoring your child weight monthly and compare it with WHO growth charts. If your child is growing well on breastfeeding only, then not give any other thing. Regards- Chat Doctor.
