A. thats okay. you can give him top feeds. you can show the baby to a pediatric doctor who will check and find the right diagnosis and treat wellsee only the doctor who can see you in person can judge what is the right status. best to trust her

A. no this will not affect baby's growth neither mental grow nor physical growth, formula milk has all necessary nutrients which baby needs for the development, till 6 months of age baby's weight should be double , if baby is active, playing well, sleeping pattern is good then nothing to worry about
