My niece s baby is 19 days old. She was born at 2.3 kg and is now only 1.9 kg, was pre term by 15 days, had jaundice and infection which now seems to be all ok. Baby does not latch very well and she does not get sufficient milk. The doctors have advised top feed of Dexolac special care, premium along with as much breast feed as possible. Is Dexolac Special care same as Dexolac Special care Premium. How does it affect the baby.
