A. eat well.See in such cases the child needs specialist care always. So try to follow with the same doctor and do not get anxious with s variety of opinion. Focus on treatment ok.

A. If You are giving formula feeding to the child and the child is satisfied with it that he is the breastfeeding you are giving to the child isn’t sufficient which is why the child is full with formula milk and there is nothing wrong with giving formula feeding it’s completely safe and healthy a lot of women give it because they do not have sufficient lactation so maybe that’s the same case with you as well so combining two feeds together is not wrong
