Hi,

The way you are managing your baby's feeding seems to be alright provided you have insufficient milk secretion. Nan1formula is for infants) newborn to 6-month-old baby) full breast milk feeding is ideal.

Try to enhance it with repeated feeding, taking sufficient caloric diet(1500calories more than a normal diet.

It should have good protein, vitamin, iron &calcium content)With vitamin, iron & calcium supplement as per need. Consult your gynecologist for personal guidance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
