Question
How should an infant be fed both breast milk and formula? The baby has been exclusively breastfed, but now that the demand has increased, a formula feeding session was added, but the baby seems to prefer breast milk and wants more after drinking formula. Is it okay to breastfeed again if it’s less than 3 hours since the last feeding? Have any treatment methods been tried, and what were their effects?
Answer
The infant is two months old and has been exclusively breastfed until now. Attempts to introduce formula have been met with reluctance. It’s important to pay attention to the baby’s care, provide light foods, and encourage physical activity. The mother should also drink more soup to increase milk production. If breast milk is sufficient, it may be considered not to feed formula. If formula feeding is necessary, one can try giving the baby some digestive powder to boost appetite.
