Formula to Breast Feeding

2024-06-16 06:52:16
My baby is 28 days old and I am giving 40 ml formula milk several times a day due to low breastmilk supply. Now my breast milk in increasing and baby also latching. So I want to discontinue formula completely. Is it ok to discontinue formula at once or do I need to follow any transition process and gradually needs to shift from formula to Breast Feeding? Please advise.
