Hello, the problem is “Should I give breast milk and formula to my baby?” This is also a question asked by many nursing mothers today.
Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for babies in the first 2 years of life. When mothers are unable or unable to exclusively breastfeed, infant formula is a safe alternative that ensures adequate nutrition for babies in the first years of life.
Don't know how old your baby is, how is your milk status? However, the first thing you need to keep in mind, is that breastfeeding should be a priority for babies under 6 months of age. In case if the baby has finished feeding on both breasts but is still crying, then the mother needs to add formula for the baby. Which type of formula should be supplemented with, it is necessary to consult a doctor because each child's age is suitable for a type of milk and needs different nutritional needs.
