Can Babies Be Breast Fed Along With Formula Milk?
Hello doctor My child is 2months and 5 days old.I breastfed her for about a week or 2 after she was born because my nipples were painful and bruised,I gave her formula since then.Now and then my milk comes,it is not regular as it was.Can I still breastfeed her or will she gassy like the elders say?

Hi,
Now as you started getting breast milk, you should start giving breast milk.
Initially breast milk is the best for a baby.
Gradually you cut down the amount of formula.
Ok and take care.
