Dr,my kid is in 22 week. am working now. when am not,my doctor has advised me to give lactogen. She has given me an formula-like for one feed she advised me to give about 4 to 5 scoop. But my son is satisfied with 2 scoop and some times 2 and half. suppose if i give him 3 scoops,he is vomiting. please tell me the reason why he is not taking more than 2 scoop?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. It all depends upon how much water you are adding per scoop of lactose. Normally you should dissolve one scoop with 30 ml of water. If he vomits anything more than 3 scoops (90 ml), you may increase the frequency. The baby needs 150 ml of formula per kg body weight for one day (24 hours). Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam MD;Disassociate professor of pediatrics
