HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the circumstances baby need to be feed with top feeding and whole milk would be best cow milk, remove all the fat and feed this milk, there are many formula milk available on counter but in my opinion child need to be clinically examined for proper advise, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
