A. hello parent your kid is a newborn baby as long as the baby is voiding urine 6 to 8 times per day that indicates sufficient lactation,in case of milk dripping from contralateral breast, u can safely stop feeding formula feeds

A. Hello dear parent, you can simply stop giving formula if your baby gets comfortable with breast feeding. Just do this gradually. Like currently Uou formula milk thein a day slowly you can do this twice in a day and once and stop that.
