RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl3 years agoA. Hey Don’t be in a hurry see complete one month of your delivery and see how much has your child gain okay if your child has gained about like 400 g on the minimum side or 300 g to 400 g on minimum side then it is a good game so you go ahead with breastfeeding only if you feel it is not enough then you start with formula feeding but as of now you should at least try on breastfeeding first
