Mom of a 1 yr 4 m old girl1 Year ago

Q.

4 months old baby is always hungry. She's on combination feeding. Even after feeding her 120 ml in one go, she wants more and I feed her breastmilk. Every 4 hrs I feed her formula. And almost every hr breastmilk. She naps for 1 to 1½ hrs in a day. 2-3 naps a day. If I want to stop formula, how can she survive alone on breastmilk?

A. Namaste Mom, You may gradually increase the feed qunatity and observe, have healthy & fiiling feed as such so that you may get good quality feed. Give priority to your feed as such and rest take support of formula, and from age of 5 months weaning foods can be introduced

A. See you have to see is your child actually asking you for a feed every one hour because 120 ML in one time is good enough for you to keep your child for 2 to 3 hours and already you are saying every four hours you’re giving formula feeding in every hour you giving breastfeeding I think that’s very unhealthy something is not proper you should get it checked with your doctor because kids do not have this kind of appetite in this age
