2 week old daughter

I am a mother of 2 week old daughter exclusively on breastmilk however she is always hungry and wakes up sooner than her sleep schedule. Is it okay if I introduce formula feeding also simultaneously along with breastfeeding ?

Hi Please check if the sleep disturbance is real due to lack of feed..Yes formula feed addition is always ok if mothers milk is Insfficient..Insufficient mothers milk is known from the weight gain of the babu and no of times the baby pees after every feed or not...And to increase mothers milk production mother to drinka atleast 3 liters of water..eat protein rich food and fryita veggies and GLV ..If not its always better to give formula rather than making kid dehydrated along with breats milk
Next Steps
Feed every 2 to 3 hrly to increase the milk supply u can add on Galact granules and Lactaire capsules to increase the milk supply too
