Share exact age and weight. If it's within normal limits for age, stop formula feeding n continue breast feeding till 6 months of age. Complementary feeding should be started after six months.

If child is gaining weight and passing more than 8 times urine in 24 hours, it's Adequate. Better to continue with exclusive mother's milk only and anyhow after a while u will be starting child on complimentary feeds.. Have confidence in that u can suffice child's requirements
