Breast feeding is the best feed for a baby. But if you are giving formula, you could shift to stage 2 if child's weight is adequate.
Reconstituted formula can be kept in the refrigerator at (2 to 8 degrees centigrade) for ONE hour.
However, my advise to you is to discard any reconstituted formula remaining in the bottle after the baby has been fed.
You can start with oe measuring cup in 340 ML water and do not bottle feed and instead feed with spoon and you need to give breast always and after that feed lactodex with spoon
If she was born preterm, lactodex is given till 40 weeks complete of gestation which means the expected date of a normal delivery.
Not recommended for normal babies.
