What Causes Drowsiness And Less Hunger In Baby Being Fed With Lactogen 1?
My daughter who is 1 month 26 days old is being fed with lactogen 1 along with breast feed. She seems to have lessened the quantity of intake. Earlier i used to feed lactodex LBW. From past 10 days i have changed the formula milk on doctor's advice. She also sleeps for long hours during day and night time and does not wake up for a feed for atleast 4-5 hours. Is there anything wrong? I feel she is more drowsier than earlier. Please advice.

Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
No.Lactogen doesn't cause drowsiness. Lactodex lbw is suitable only up to 2.5 kg weight. So what your doctor advised was perfect.Sleeping for 4 hours at a stretch is normal. Now she must be drinking proper amount of milk and so must be sleeping peacefully for 4-5 hours at a stretch
Happy to help you
Best regards
