My child is entirely on formula feed . He is now 5 months old and from the last 2 months I have not been able to give him my feed. In three months also my feed was not enough and he hardly had my feed. Is it fine to keep the child entirely on formula feed.

A. Dear mum, ideally breast milk should be the only source of milk for your baby. However if you have been unable to breastfeed and your baby has been on formula since the past 3 months, you should not worry about it.
