Q.

#asktheexperts hello sir, Should formula milk quantity should match the breast milk quantity. I have low milk supply (6 weeks completed), and hence using formula to feed. Milk quantity is less while expressing milk (40ml) whereas for 6 weeks baby should be taking up 120ml in single feed. Sometimes baby cries even after breastfeeding and feels fine after bottle feed.

A. no necessary you have to give only demand feeding to the child that is whenever the child feels hungry you can give milk to the child and the child will take the milk according to the need and then will leave the milk. if the child is taking more milk you can offer milk in more quantity with intermittent burping . there is no need to to go for fixed feeding pattern. also there is no need to wake up the child from sleep if the weight of thde child is within normal limits . also if the weight gain of the child every month is normal then no need to worry regarding the pattern of breastfeeding
