Hi
How come you know that milk is not sufficient for your breast milk is not sufficient for your baby.
Sometimes babies cry due to some other reasons also.
First try to take out the reason after discussing with doctor or me and then you can surely give similac milk twice in a day.
The vitals are also the parameters by which you can check the growth is happening of child in a right manner or not.you can use growth charts.

Hi,
This is time to start weaning or introduce complementary food. Now only breast feeding is not enough for baby, with that other food needs to introduce. You can give formula milk but with that continue breastfeeding, because breast milk is best option for baby upto one year of age.
