Patient's question:
Baby is 47 days old, breastfeeding is not enough, always breastfeeding and formula, now want to change the brand of formula, is it okay? The one before was not well-known, hard to buy, bought at the fire station at that time.Doctor's answer:
The frequency of breastfeeding generally remains unchanged. First, breastfeed to empty both breasts, and then supplement with formula milk to make up for any insufficient breast milk. The amount of supplementary milk is determined by the child's appetite and the amount of breast milk available. The advantage of supplementary feeding is that it ensures sufficient stimulation for the breasts, which may gradually enhance milk production through stimulation and eventually lead back to exclusive breastfeeding. It is recommended for babies under 6 months old.
