Question
My baby is about one month old, and I always feed a little breast milk first, then supplement with formula milk. Is there a problem with this feeding method for the baby’s health? Should I switch to formula milk feeding completely?
Answer
If the baby can take it, there is no issue with this method. Continue to monitor the baby’s stool shape and frequency of bowel movements; if everything is normal, you can continue this feeding method. Breastfeeding is beneficial for the baby’s immunity, nutrition, and the mother-child bond, so strive to maintain breastfeeding for at least six months as it is superior to formula milk. Feed the baby as much as they need. Breastfeeding helps boost the baby’s immune system and provides rich nutrition, and it also aids in postpartum weight loss for the mother.
