My baby is 2.5 months old. My milk supply is not enough. I'm doing combination feeding of both breast milk and formula milk. I'm using similac stage 1 formula. Can I continue the same formula or can I change. Per feed I'm giving 60ml. Whether I need to increase it? And Could you pls suggest any formula milk for healthy weight gain?
