Hello,

First of all, I want to congratulate you to have a baby and at 3 months the weight is very good. Please let me know the birth weight too.

Now, coming to your question, I suggest you to express breast milk sufficient enough for feeding four times (in between 10:30 and 4:30). If you see that expressed milk is not that enough, then you can use formula milk stage 1, till 6 months of age.

You can give formula through bowl and palady or bottle but in that case bottle hygiene need to be maintained properly.

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

Regards,
Dr. Raktima Chakrabarti
