A. formula milk is supposed to be used only when advised by your doctorIf you are not able to give breast milk to your child you can give formula milk but only under medical guidance you can use any brand which can be easily digested by the child. Formula milk may cause constipation and gastric issues to the baby for which you need to take proper precautions at most hygiene is also important if the baby is having any loose motion aur vomiting aur any other problem to a particular formula milk brand it will be better to change the brand but if if the baoby is comfortable with one brand it will be better to stick to it. as the age of the baby increases after six months as you can introduche a semi solid food also so try to make the baby more dependent on a balanced diet rather than formula milk .

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much and please give your baby doctor prescribed formula wand Similac is a good option as per my opinion too and also keep trying to give baby breastfeeding as baby takes sometimes to latch milk. Take care
