Can a 5-month-old baby eat the mother's milk of a 5-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

Can a 5-month-old baby eat the mother's milk of a 5-month-old baby?

Doctor's answer:

For babies with insufficient breast milk, they can drink formula milk. If another mother is also breastfeeding, you can let your baby drink her milk. However, it is best to express the milk into a bottle and feed it to the baby. Compared to formula milk, human milk is relatively better for the baby. If you are drinking another mother's milk due to insufficient milk supply, it is recommended to give your baby regular health check-ups. Wishing your baby good health!
