At What Age Lactogen 3 Can Be Started?

when to start lactogen3 ? I purchased a lactogen 3 and it says that it is for babies above 12 months. I found another lactogen 3 tin which says it can be used after 10 months. The colours of the packing differs. In lactogen 3 it is recommended that we switch over to lactogen 3. It is really confusing. My grand daughter is very much interested in viwing in TV. Will it affect her eyes?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi..I would suggest that you start the child on home based feeds as it will be more feasible and also increases the bonding between family and child as she sits with the family during her feeds. Also healthy dietary habits can be practiced this way. I would recommend maximum 2 hours a day of TV watching only and avoid feeding the child during that time. If still you want to start lactogen 3 it can be given at 1 year of age
