Hello doctor.. My pediatrician suggested me to feed my baby both breast milk and formula fed due to less weight gain of my baby. Could you please help me out in managing both like how many times can I feed my baby formula fed in a day and how much duration to be taken between breast fed and formula fed. Thanking u in advance.

A. you have to follow the simple rule that you have to first give breastfeeding to the child and after that if needed you can add on formula milk. also formula milk should be given with katori spoon and not with a bottle
