Anesthesiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Babies are to be exclusively breast feed up to 6 months of age unless specified otherwise by the pediatrician. Irregular bowel habits are common and normal in breast feed babies. You don't need to worry. If your breast milk is not adequate or if the baby keeps crying continuously with hunger at night then you can try pre Nan at night time. In my opinion, your baby doesn't need any formula milk as she is comfortable with breast milk.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
