A. yes you can use its ok. its great you have been trying and by whatever amount you have given , your baby will be benefited. Formula is made especially for babies., taking care of their nutrition. also immunity depends not only upon breastfeeding. it depends on physical activity, diet, nutrition, environmental factors, genetics in future.

A. hi yes mam, ofcourse you can use breastpump. you can opt for any of them. both are equally good. depends on you which you want to use. as there is major difference of it's cost. personally ,I prefer electric pump which can save your time and easy to use. I would suggest Babyhug breastpump. and to increase your breastmilk supply,I would suggest you to take leptadin tablet or shatavary granular with warm milk twice in a day.
