Thanks and regards

Answer my answer to all your quereis is yes.. ok!
soem docs dont recommened hovite drops considering the strategy for exclusive breastfeeding.
parents need to udnerstand that hovite isnt a tonic, its just like a nutritional supplement with vitamins which mothers milk may be lacking somehow.
