Suggest A Good Formula Milk For A 3.5-month-old
My baby is premature of 33+ weeks. He is now 3 and half months old. he is exclusively at breast feed. But he is only 3.1 kg. He is always taking the breast feed but seems not getting enough milk from me. Should I introduce formula milk? Also I have to join work. Which formula milk is good for a 4 month old baby? Please advice

Hello,
The best thing you can do for your baby is breastfeeding until a year. Formulas such as Similac Expert Care Neosure, Enfamil Premature, and Gerber Good Start Nourish are designed for premature babies.
These formulas contain greater calories per ounce, more protein, and higher levels of vitamins and minerals than formula meant for full-term babies.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
