Thanks for your query...
sometimes in initial days baby fails to latch to mothers breaSt ..or mother fails to get proper milk let down reflex. ...In such cases lactogen is advised as infant formula supplement to complete your baby nutrition. .It is safe if proper sterilisation ia dme. .still my advice would be continue to suckle your baby as nothing can substitute breast milk. .
