Asking For Self, Male 0, karachi
Asalamulaikum, Im Pakiza and here to ask question about my newborn baby who is just 24 days old. My doctor recommended me to feed formula milk Meiji as I did not lactate. My baby was constipated then doctor recommended me to use Similac total comfort 1, now I've used 1 can and at midst of 2nd one but my baby got motion and passing frequent stool. He is having problems in stomach kindly guide me how to overcome this problem.
Wa alaikum assalam, these are common issues faced with formula milk. if it is not possible to start mother's feed just take care of hygiene, boiling bottles. use boiled water. also take him to nearby emergency diarrhea at this stage needed to be addressed soon.
Continue Meiji formula milk.
Use GLICERIN suppositry when constipated

lactation failure is major problem. plz always go Natural. mother feed is best food for baby ever. no replacement or alternative.
if your milk is dried up. no way to bring back. even after trying again and again, then dabba milk at end.
use lactogen 1.
if no diarrhea, just semi formed stool, no issue.
cont it.
in case diarrhea, then needs other alternative, plz consult someone.
