Baby refusing mother's feed
My baby is over 5 months and since my maternity leave is about to end i had introduced formula to her along with mother's feed. Everything was fine but Since few days she's getting fussy while feeding mother's milk . I tried pumping etc but she's only taking formula and very little mother's feed. She will start semi solids from next month. Should I be worried about not feeding her enough mother's milk?

Breastfeeding is best for your baby.I do understand your professional concerns but there is no other alternative.Breast fed have better IQ scores and do well in competitive exams compared to formula fed babies.Breast milk contains antibodies which offer protection to your baby against infections.Breast feeding also helps in reducing your weight which was gained during pregnancy period and protective against breast and ovary cancers in future.
Please continue breastfeeding your child.
