A. Breast milk is always sufficient and best till completion of six months. you should be never think this is low. baby is very small to start formula. start other milk after six months

A. hi yes it is ok but as mother's milk is best food for a child,here I suggest you some tips hope it help: offer plenty of feeds because the more your child latches, the more milk is produced. massage your breasts with coconut oil. take healthy and well blanaced diet keep your body well hydrated take leptadin tablet or shatavary granular with warm milk for it. stay stress free although if it is not possible then you can opt for formula only after consulting with your pediatrician. but please avoid bottle feeding offer it through katori and spoon.
