Hello, my son is 5 months old and he is on both breastfeed and formula after breastfeeding I'm giving 60 ml of formula.. I haven't increased his formula intake.. is it necessary to increase formula? I do not see him cranky after a feed, so what my doctor advised is if he is cranky,feed him extra 30 ml otherwise don't as he taking my feed also.. should I increase his formula intake?

See giving extra milk or not its depend on your BF  quantity here and baby's weight gain. If baby hase proper weight gain like 25 to 30gm per day after birth in average then everything is ok.. But if baby is putting proper weight after your all efforts then your brest feed is not sufficient and formula feed quantity also need to be increase.
