A. hi no, formula is not bad it can be given if mother's milk supply is low so please don't feel guilty you need to check why child is crying at feeding time it is not always reason that child is crying due to insufficient milk supply it might happen that child might feeling difficulty in certain feeding positions or child might crying because of fast flow of milk which makes difficult to latch well at feeding time.
