Hello I have a 6 weeks old baby and i am trying to introduce formula milk after breastfeeding her for a month. but she is just refusing it. she did take a bit here and there last week. but today she has not taken any milk. the last time i breastfed her was 6 hours ago and since then she has had some sips here and there. how long can she go without milk?
Babies tend to regulate their feeds by themselves. Give feeds on demand when baby demands. Usually at this age 4 hours is maximum. Better to try feeding her more.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
