MMS 1 provides 74 Cal per 100ml which is more than 67 Cal of breast milk and cow milk
Next Steps
You need to increase the quantity of feed and number of feeds per day if low weight gain is the problem
It can be MMS 2 also which again provides similar calories
Health Tips
Nan pro 2, lactogen pro 2, similac 2 all provide only 67 calories
You can start complimentary feeding ie food with cereals, pulses, fruits, dry fruits, jaggery etc with ghee (one at a time) now onwards

Hi. You can give lactogen 2.
It's also crucial to start complementary feeds now for proper growth and nourishment.
