A. 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. Formula is comparatively difficult for baby to digest. Baby feels full longer, doesn't nurse at your breast as often, you don't get the stimulation and milk isn't removed, thus your body responds by not making as much milk. It's a vicious cycle.

A. hello yes you baby can now be taking around 90 ml of infant formula milk once in every 3 hours would be fine....it is advisable to exclusively breastfeed your baby till 6 months at least but due to some reason you have opted infant formula milk then it is ok
