A. You can feed once in every two hours. There should be a minimum of half an hour gap between Breastmilk and formula. Don't feed them immediately one after another. It can upset the baby's tummy. Your baby should be peeing anywhere between six to ten times a day which means the baby is taking feeds properly. Also there should be a gradual weight gain. Keep a check on these factors.
