Question
What is the best time for nutritional supplementation in newborns? Since breast milk is insufficient, I would like to feed formula milk. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby is in the fastest growth and development phase within the first year. If breast milk is insufficient, it is recommended that you at least breastfeed exclusively for six months, especially during the first four months. If breast milk is still not enough, you can encourage the mother to drink more soup to increase breast milk supply, or supplement with formula milk after breastfeeding. Keep a positive attitude and ensure adequate rest. I hope these suggestions help you solve the issue of “the optimal time for nutritional supplementation in newborns” and wish you and your baby good health.
