No. It is not advisable to supplement on breast milk Exclusive breastfeeding is best for baby Mixing it with formula feeds may cause indigestion im babies Breast milk is better and superior to formula feeds Will not help in any additional weight gain If u r exclusively breastfeeding Continue that only as it is best for baby
