POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. Yes, you can give your 3-month-20-day-old baby formula milk and also mix it with expressed breast milk (EBM), but it's important to follow a few guidelines:
Mixing in the same bottle is okay, but always prepare formula separately first using boiled and cooled water as per instructions. Once it’s ready, you can add EBM to it (never the other way around), and feed it immediately. This is helpful if your breast milk supply is low or you're returning to work. Ensure the bottle and nipples are sterilized properly. Watch for any signs of allergy, gas, or constipation.
If your baby is growing well, gaining weight, and staying active, mixed feeding is safe. You can also consult your pediatrician to ensure the right type and amount of formula.
