Patient's question:
The baby is eight months old and has been breastfed exclusively. Do I need to add formula? There is plenty of breast milk, and I haven't really learned much about it before.Doctor's answer:
Actually, for the situation you mentioned, it should not be considered very complex. As you said, humans are very intelligent beings. In the past, there was no formula milk for children to eat, yet humans still survived for thousands of years. Therefore, if your child is not growing well, it does not necessarily mean they must drink formula milk. It's just that now there is this option available, so why not make use of it? So, whether or not to drink formula milk is not mandatory; it is a choice. It's okay to drink it, and it's also okay not to.
