I have given birth to twins 15 days ago. As my feeding is not sufficient for both am confused between opting for cows milk or lactogen 1 powder as doctors give different suggestions. Kindly support your suggestion with reason.

It is not recommended to consider cows milk till at least 1 year age but you can start any formula milk like lactogen as their weight should be fine.

Breast milk is always the best feed for the newborn, but as yours is a special situation of twins where your milk is not sufficient for both I suggest you to top up with lactogen / nan pro / dexolac. Do not go with cows milk or buffalo milk. As formula milk is the best near replacement for breast milk.

Cows milk should not be given before the age of 1 year as the baby miht be allergic to the cows milk protien. Give nan pro stage 1. And continue to breastfeed.

Milk must be sufficient for both babies. Try to feed babies. It is normal and natural, more you keep your breast empty, more milk is produced similarly, milk is left in breast, less milk is produced. It is like demand and supply. You must consume nutritious diet. Any how, if you feel to give top feed, cows milk may be given though no top milk can beat mother's milk.
