A. Only if your Breastmilk is not sufficient you may give formula for your baby. Otherwise it's not necessary. But if u r in a position that you have to give formula as supplement then don't worry there isn't any problem. Just ensure formula feeding spent interfere with breastfeeding. Like bottle and mother's nipple should not be confusing the child.
