If your baby is also Breastfeeding and is doing it effectively then there is absolutely no necessity to add formula. it can result into oversupply and reflux issues. please Breastfeed the baby on demand and the let baby decide the nursing duration and frequency
If your baby is exclusively formula fed then feed the baby as per hunger cues and offer when roots for milk.
Your baby's doctor should suggest a formula that's right for your little one. Most doctors recommend that babies drink one made from cow's milk. Most formulas available today are made from that.
If a baby has a milk allergy or the formula doesn't agree with them, doctors may suggest formula made from soy milk.
If allergies run in your family, your doctor may advise using a “hydrolyzed” formula, which is easier to digest. It may also make it less likely that your baby will get allergies.
