Insufficient milk supply
My 4 week old baby wants to feed every half an hour. She does not get satisfied as i have low milk supply. I have to give her infant formula 3-4 times a day. Is it fine if i give her breast milk as well as formula milk? I am really worried about her health. Her birth weight was 2.9 kg and last week it was 3.3 kg.

Hi Mam. Breast feeding is the best for overall health of the baby. Formula feeding is much inferior. Breast feeding has numerous advantages including protection from infection, allergies and cancer. It also improves body growth and brain growth, IQ of babies. So continue your efforts to give breast feeding your baby . You could take  Lactonic granules 2 tsp twice daily along with milk . This helped  many mother's to increase the milk production.. Also eat wide variety of foods without any restrictions.. Also pls see the following link for Proper technique of breastfeeding https://youtu.be/7fjubn2bgnk Try to give as much of breast milk as possible ...if not sufficient then give formula milk ... generally I recommend Nan excella pro as it is close to the breast milk in composition...
