A. Hello dear parent, every mother goes through this phase. Breast mllk is very very good for babies I oto 6 months of age. You should always prefer to give breast.ilk over formula milk. As breast milk helps build immunity of the baby which formula milk cannot do. If myou stillk wish to give formula milk then yes pharmacy can give formula milk as on demand.
