Hey! It is recommended to exclusively breastfeed your baby till the age of 6 months. Formula feeding is an exception and not the norm. If your breast milk is adequate, it is always better to not introduce formula milk. Even though formula feeding has no adverse effects as such, exclusive breastfeeding is the best recommended option. You can also express your breast milk and feed the baby in case top ups are needed instead of giving formula.
