Q.

My baby is 16days old . I am feeding him and also giving him formula milk every 2 hours. But whenever he is awake for 2-3 hours , he is continuously asking for milk. Is he so much hungry all the time?

A. Hi, Yeah!! Actually mother's milk is easily digestible that's why baby got hungry soon and this is the reason that it has been recommended to give exclusive breastfeeding on demand. If you are breastfeeding well then why are you giving formula milk to baby. Please give exclusive breastfeeding till 6 month.
