A. Hello mommy, Breast milk works best on a supply and demand basis; with the more your baby feeds the more milk your body produces. Mix feeding your baby therefore may affect your milk supply meaning that you produce less and that your milk supply may eventually dry up. Dont give too much space between both feeds. otherwise there is no problem. Kindly do not start cow milk as of now.
