Question
My baby is three and a half months old. There is clearly not enough breast milk during the day for the baby to eat. Do I need to add formula milk? How should I do it? What precautions should I take?
Answer
Firstly, it is recommended that you try some folk remedies to boost your milk supply, such as eating braised pork trotters, to meet the baby’s needs. After all, breast milk is easier for the baby to digest and absorb than formula milk. If you decide to add formula milk, choose a suitable brand and grade based on your family’s economic situation. When feeding, it’s best to alternate between formula milk and breast milk to prevent the baby from preferring one type of food. At the same time, pay attention to observing the baby’s growth and development to ensure that the feeding method does not affect their healthy growth.
