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 baby is comfortable with one brand it will be better  to stick to it. as the age of the baby increases after six tmonths as you can introduce a semi solid food also so try to make the baby more dependent on a balanced diet rather than formula milk .

hi
first of all , please avoid giving bottle feeds.
mam ,try to give more and more direct breastfeeding,it is safe and best for your child.
but if it is not possible then you can use formula with different flavor or use katori and spoon to feed your child.
it may help to encourage your child to take feeds
and if your child looks happy and active, gains enough weight, passes urine at least 7 or 8 times in a day ,no need to worry about it much.
