A. Hi What is the current age of your child you have not mentioned that but I’m just going to say if you are unable to serve give sufficient breastfeeding to the child it is completely normal you can start with formula feeding even after trying hard not a woman cannot produce sufficient lactation which is why we would always say that you start giving formula milk to your child if you do not have sufficient breastfeedin
