Hi,

My DD2 had a powder called Duocal added to my expressed breast milk when she was in intensive care and up to the age of 12 months, from what I remember. She was very ill and needed extra calories. I didn't have a problem with it.

Are they (HVs?) very worried about your DD's weight? How do you feel about it?

Sorry, cross posts, Trace2.

PatsyCline thank you i now they have put prem babies on it but would also like to know what babies my dd age is like on it and how long it takes to start gaining weight?

Hi Trace,

Sorry, hopefully someone will come along who has had that experience.
