Breat feeding along with cow milk
My baby is exactly one month old and only increased weight from 2.3 to 2.4 . I am unable to feed milk completely as the milk production is less. We have a cow in our Village and pure milk is available . Can it be breast feeding + Cow milk or should I go for formula + Breast feeding. Baby weight is also a concern . Or suggest any best way to increase milk production

NO COW MILK.
Exclusive breast feeding for 6 months 2 hourly followed by burping. If milk secretions are less then only formula feeding.
Mother should drink lots of water and can take galact granules with milk. Rest consult Gynec for that matter.
