Feeding:Feeding Supplements
2008-07-20
Name: Jyoti Thakur



I' ve a four month old princess. I need to get back to work and was checking with our pediatrician as what kind of supplements to give to my daughter. He asked us to start giving some fruit juices and smasshed fruits. He asked us NOT to give supplements like Lactogen, Cerelacs etc...We are kind of confused.

We have heard lot of people give Lactogen & Cerelac to their infants. And her our doctor advices against it.

Secondly is it good to give juices and smashed fruits to 4 month olds.

I know doctors know better but this has left me confised. Any advices.

hi Jyothi,
lactogen till she is 6 months old, and then lactogen2 till 10 months old and from the till 2yeas- lactogen 3.
the required quantity of feed is mentioned on the pack of lactogen ...just follow that.
also in place of lactogen you can give her Nan1 ..this is also formula milk from the same compant Nestle...

Hi Jyothi,
well with due respects to your doctor, i disagree with him.
since you are getting back to work, what you can do is take your breast milk and put in the fridge.Incase you are not getting milk, then its VERY VERY VERY important to give her lactogen.Also even if your getting milk, i doubt the qty of milk will suffice.so i am in favour of giving lactogen.
secondly...till 6 months completed, its not advisable to feed her solids as it would upset their gut..even if it is Cerelac.7th month starting start her solids.you can give her home made food or cerelac/nestum.
but for your information, babies have very few teeth in their first year, so they cant munch..and i am sure many babies refuse to eat.upto 1 year please giver her maximum milk only, milk should be her main diet.
i have follwed the same and i am happy with the end result....
regarding fruit juices...they are empty calories...babies need calories for grwoth...and fruit juices have loads of sugar...which is not good for their teeth and health too.there are many instances fruit juices have caused sever loose motions in babies...
so i suggest you give her supplements and 1 litre of milk till she is 1 year...
\" THIS IS STRICTLY MY OPINION\"
BYE
