Feeding Expressed breast milk to the baby is fine. So if you can express in enough quantity, there will be no need of formula milk. But if you have to give, all brands are good.
Next Steps
Keep putting the baby on the breast each time before you give expressed milk or top feed . Baby will learn to feed directly also. Then you can gradually reduce the top feed.
