Suggest an effective alternative for breast milk for a 3 month old
Patient: Hi Sir, Good Morning My baby is having 3 months as weight of 6.4 kg. i would like to ask you to my working hour is have 10:30am to 04:30pm between this time I m not able to feed milk to my baby. So, kindly requesting you to advice me what should i have to provide my baby. waiting for your positive response. Thanks Doctor: Hello,First of all, I want to congratulate you to have a baby and at 3 months the weight is very good. Please let me know the birth weight too.Now, coming to your question, I suggest you to express breast milk sufficient enough for feeding four times (in between 10:30 and 4:30). If you see that expressed milk is not that enough, then you can use formula milk stage 1, till 6 months of age.You can give formula through bowl and palady or bottle but in that case bottle hygiene need to be maintained properly.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Raktima Chakrabarti
