Suggest Best Formula Milk For An Infant
Question: Hello i am XXXXXXX from XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Please tell me which milk is better i am feeding nan pro 1 to my 4 months old daughter as there is one more milk available enfamil a + please tell which is best from this as my baby is on total top feed she only took one and half month breast milk
Brief Answer:
All are same - select based on baby's acceptance
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX .. all the commercial formula feeds contain the same amount of calories. So do not worry about which feed to give as the baby's gain of weight is more important than the brand of the formula feed. If the baby is gaining at least 20 to 25 grams weight per day and is passing urine 6 times per day you need not worry. Another more important thing is the development of the baby.
I have a few questions for you -
1. what was the birth weight of your kid and age now.
2. what is the current weight
3. is there any loose motions with the old formula which you where using
4. is there any constipation
Kindly get back to me with the answers to above questions. I will be glad to help you further regarding your query.

Brief Answer:
Continue nan pro 1/ Stool colour is normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi...she is 4 months now and I congratulate you because she is doing excellently well regarding her weight. She has gained 35.25 g/day. This is more than a normal baby and your baby girl being born underweight, it is excellent.
Coming to your queries -
1. First of all, as she is putting on very good weight gain on nan pro 1, I personally wouldn't prefer changing the brand.
2. All the formula feeds are the same, except for minnow differences, which need not be considered significant.
3. Stool colour you are mentioning is quite normal for a baby of this age, either breast fed or formula fed. So do not worry, this is normal.
I wish your kid a glorious future. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below.
