A. it is advisable to meet your doctor who will take the weight of the child and tell you whether the weight of the child is within normal limits or not and whether the breast milk is adequate or not and do not start outside milk on your own

Q. #asktheexperts How can I know that my baby tummy is full? My baby is having both breastmilk and formula milk. My mother always says that her tummy is not full by seeing bloated tummy then she offers to go for formula milk. I just want to go for formula only when my milk isn't sufficient. Is it really true that baby tummy is full only when it is bloated.
