Baby taking breastmilk in sips

2023-03-03 12:37:34
My baby is 5 months old ... She is entirely on formula milk due to my low milk supply... But sometimes she used to drink my breastmilk in between...jus for 5 10 mins in a day... But from one month I have noticed she does not take my breast milk like as she used to be...instead she takes in sips...with a pause...but bottle milk she takes continuously...without any pause... I am worried what can be the issue... Kindly help...
