If you have adequate feed and if weight gain of baby is adequate dont start formula feed. Even if required dont use bottles

Yes. U can breastfeed & give formula milk together. The best way is to give breastfeed as much as available and if it is short of demand than compliment it with formula milk. If U do this way than ur milk output will be maintained well. Try giving top feed by katori & spoon .
Health Tips
Always burp your baby after every feed
