Feeding issue
My child is 1 Month and 1 week old. I am giving mix feed(breast milk and formula milk). So how much formula milk should I give to her? For this age of child what is the right quantity of milk? And how much should I increase in milk quantity on weekly basis?
Try to exclusively breast fed your baby. Take proper diet and increase water intake if breast milk is low. Breast feeding should be on demand means offer feed whenever baby cries. Initially babies can be excessively sleepy and don't demand feed, so you can wake them up after 2.5 -3 hours to offer breast feeding. Always empty one breast before switching to the other side.

Firstly u give your own breast milk about 10 mins each side so total of 20 mins feeding. Then even after 20 mins of your breast feeding baby still crying for feed. Make 30 ml of formula and then give whatever baby wants to take.
Monitor for urine
If passing 5-6 timea urine daily
Means baby is getting sufficient milk
