Hi ,

My daughter is 25 days old and usually does not sleep in the night .The baby takes mother's milk and one lactogen feed in the day.Can we feed the baby with the lactogen in the night as the mothers milk is not suffecient.the doctor has asked not to feed the baby after 11.please suggest Bela replied. Hey Guarav,

U can try giving a Lactogen feed at 11pm....but frankly skping it will not help however heavy it is.All babies take 2-3 mths...some even more to get used to the routine of day n night...but the baby has to be fed every 2-3 hrs at night too.Try keepning the baby awake in the eve from 6-9pm n then give a bottle at 9 n put her to sleep.This will take time but will surely help.Also wake the baby every 2 hrs in the day,by changing clothes,daipers n then keep her busy by playing n all.All this will take lots of time...its just a matter of patience.Some babies cannot digest formula at night,then try giving a long breastfeed for abt 45 mins....

Hope all this helps

u might have seen howz she doing with lactogen during day.if she takes it happily then go ahaed.u can give lactogen at night.it'll keep her full for sometime.as compared to mother's milk it takes time to digest and she won't be hungry so soon.one more thing ur daughter is too small to stop her feedings after 11 pm.she is just 25 days. she needs to be feeded after every 3 - 4 hrs.so u check with her DR. again.
good luck.
