Q.

#AskTheExpert I have twins and breast feed them all the time is not possible. During bf they tend to sleep alot and I get the feeling that they are not full. I now feed them with formula and bf alternatively. Also most of the time I express bf and feed through bottles so that they should not be hungry. I keep on thinking is this okay and feel if they are not getting enough bf which they should get. I do bf them together as well but they sleep and don't get full feed. it's really stressful. I have bf but I think it should be more to satisfy my kids. please help if someone is facing same issues

A. Milk is very important for babies specially in the initial days of life breast milk is very important and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . formula milk should be given only as a substitute to breast milk if due to any reason it is not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the baby. according to the age different stage of formula milk are there like stage 1 till 6 months of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months rgt and thereafter stage 3 . after one year cows milk shouldf be started and any kind of health drink powder in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .

I feed them breast milk and formula milk. but from the 5 months I struggle alot to give them breast milk ( most of the time in this month they r on formula milk). may be they got Nipples confusion. so they were not feed from breast .so I pumped the milk and try to give them. but from 5 months my milk supply also decreased alot. now my milk supply is zero.they r completely on formula and just started semi solid food.so what I should do now? should I let it go like this or do something for breast milk.plz kindly advise.
