Can Formula Food Be Given To A New Born Infant?

Hi Dr.Santosh, My wife gave birth 5 days ago, she is not breastfeeding, and we are feeding our baby, formula NAN 1 Premium, I know breastfeeding is highly recommended, but as a second choice, is NAN 1 a good formula to feed our baby? what other types would you recommend. Your reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi...all the brands of formula feed are one and the same in caloric value. So do not worry about it. The most important thing is the dilution of the formula - 1 scoop to 30ml of water. Apart from this as the kid is now well adjusted with NAN 1 Premium, I suggest yo continue the same.
