#asktheexpert can we give formula milk to new born baby ? if mother don't have enough milk to feed.

A. Dear mum, ideally breast milk is most nutritious and complete food for baby till 6 months. Ensure that baby latches properly while feeding, have frequent skin to skin contact with baby. The more you breastfeed more will be the milk supply. You can also take help of a lactation consultant. However if breast milk supply is still not sufficient, then you can give formula.
