Is breastfeeding better or mixed breastfeeding with formula better?

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

Certainly, breastfeeding is better. Breast milk is the natural best food for infants and plays an irreplaceable role in their healthy growth and development. It contains a large amount of immune components, such as more lactoferrin and trace elements, etc. The calcium and phosphorus ratio is suitable for infant absorption.
When breastfeeding is insufficient, mixed feeding can be adopted. Solid foods should be introduced around the age of 4-6 months.
For small infants who have not yet started on solid foods, they should be fed every 3 hours or so.
