Most of mothers think that they have insufficient milk and start top milk. Starting top milk is easy but later may have lot of problems. So before starting it check that your baby gaining weight appropriate to his/her age.

Hello, continue breast feeding. If you feel your milk out put is low, you must take protein rich diet to improve milk production.
Still if you need to give top feed, you can use katori spoon to feed the baby. Try to maintain utmost hygeine.
