#asktheexpert Hii doctor, my my daughter is of age 6 month and she relies on breastfeeding. She denies formula milk. She don’t want to feed from bottle. She gets irritated when I give her formula milk and my breast milk supply is not sufficient to quench. Her hunger can suggest some serial food so that I can make it at home and feed her.
