#AskTheExpert hi... meri 1month ki baby ka sirf bm se peth nhi bharta. toh muje use thoda formula milk meri har feed k baad dena chahiye ya ek bar bm aur dusri bar formula?

A. Breastmilk is always the best milk. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding until six months. So far no one was able to make a perfectly alternate product for breastmilk which is highly nutritious and has some incredible elements. Formula is a close to and safe choice for those who cannot breastfeed exclusively due to various reasons. Breastmilk is always the best milk but giving formula won't harm your baby. Try ur level best to breastfeed and supplement with formula as and when required. Always maintain half an hour gap between feeding Breastmilk and formula. Don't feed them one after another immediately.
