Hello doctor!! my 3.5 months old is breastfeeding exclusively and is gaining weight appropriately. So I want to ask if I can start combination feeding for him ; just like formula twice a day along with breastfeeding?? Also, would it affect my milk supply??

A. Hello my dear parent! When you’re able to exclusively breastfeed your baby on demand, then just continue doing it. There is no need to give formula milk to your baby. Baby should be doubling birth by six months and triple by one year complete
