A. yes, you can start feeding formula milk. to improve breast milk secretion, Lactare capsules or powder is a safe medicine or Take CurePerium powder with milk twice a day.

A. hi dear You can start by offering your baby 1 to 2 ounces of infant formula every 2 to 3 hours in the first days of life if your baby is only getting infant formula and no breast milk. Give your baby more if he or she is showing signs of hunger. Most infant formula-fed newborns will feed 8 to 12 times in 24 hours.
