A. Ma’am honestly telling you don’t come into anybody’s pressure whether it is your maternal family or your in-laws see if your child is gaining proper weight which is expected to be 500 g in a month and there is no need to give any other milk other than breastfeeding and if you want to give milk confirm with your doctor you can start giving tone pasteurise milk because in that case should be able to give food milkshakes and smoothies along with the food that you are giving so you can go ahead with that currently if your breastfeeding is enough food not suggest you to start with formula
