Hello my baby is 19 days old
As my feed is not sufficient, Dr suggested aptamil for few feeds. Whenever we are giving formula feed we are observing our baby is getting gassy and suffering a lot. Once we stop feeding for 2 days, she is getting normal. She could not tolerate formula and bf is not sufficient. What should we do now? Please suggest
