Mom of a 2 yr 1 m old girl2 years ago

Q.

Dr... My newborn is 15 days old.. And i am supplying her formula milk(similac) once or twice in a day bcoz of insufficient breast milk.. but she is having some irritations and vomiting... i think it's bcoz of the formula powder( similac)... I know mother's milk is better than formula milk.. but please recommend me another powder brand inspite of similac.. bcoz providing them once in a day give me confidence and protect me from postpartum depression..

A. No it is not because of formula milk I would just like to say this is due to stomach reflux which is a very common issue with kid so you do not have to worry about it here I would just like to tell you that you should only feed your child on demand that’s what is going to be very helpful
