Hello doctor. My baby is 25 days old. She keeps askin milk all time. I feed her for hour hour but again after 15 min she cries for milk and doesn't stop until I put her back to breast. I am taking tablets and granules to produce more milk since 8 days. I feel I have enough milk cause when I press my breastg see enough milk coming out. Can I supplement wit formula milk to fill her hunger along with breast feeding. I am tired of feeding continuously almost 24 hours. Please help me

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Your baby is just 25 days old.
Till 6 months you should not give anything to the baby except for breast milk.
So according to me substituting with formula milk will not be a good idea.
Consult a pediatrician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
