Breast milk is the best. But, if your baby’s growth is at risk (too little weight gain) with breastfeeding alone, it’s time to put your ego as a mother aside. And, supplement with formula.
I did and I’m glad that I made the choice. No matter what other pro-breastfeeding moms said, only ME alone knows what is best for my baby.
Yes. I do support breastfeeding. I learned everthing about breastfeeding during my pregnancy. And, I wanted to exclusively-breastfeed my baby until she is 2 years old. But, not all things go out as planned.
Her weight was gaining so slowly, so I was advised by her paed to give a special infant formula for premature babies.
Do you know what I felt when the paed said I didn’t have enough milk for my baby? I was so extremely angry!
Annoyed. Devastated. Mad. Heart broken into pieces.
I thought I have failed as a mother. And, I was so close to having a major post-natal depression.
But, the tiny little princess made me realised. Her well-being is much more important than my stupid ego.
So, she was given Enfalac A+ Premature Special Infant formula and also breastmilk until she was 6 months.
Now, it is time to switch the formula.
We were looking for a formula that is easy to be digested. And, do not cause constipation.
And, we found Nestlé NAN H.A 2 (Hypoallergenic)!
Baby Izzah has been on this new formula for a week. And, she is happily passing stool once in two days.
No more signs of her having pain while trying to empty her bowel. A definitely happier baby!
Nestlé NAN contains probiotics (beneficial bacteria - bifidus) which helps babies to poo easily. And, it is a hypoallergenic formula with easily digestible proteins that help reduce the risk of allergies.
