Although mother breast milk is best for a infant, but if there is problem with lactation mother can try other methods.
Try to express breast milk and feed with katori Spoon, paladai.
If on formula feed do proper dilution and feed with Spoon or paladai.

Use Paladai to feed the baby instead of spoon or bottle.
Using paladai is easy way to feed the baby as it has long narrow tapering tip which easily fits into mouth. Try this way

Breast milk is the best milk and breastfeeding is the best type of feeding
I would suggest you to take measures to optimise your breast milk rather than using formula
1. Drink 2-3 liters of water per day
2. Eat nutritious food
3. Feed regularly at 3-4 hour gaps, feed at night also
4. Do not take stress
5. If you really feel your milk is low, you can use a breast pump and check for yourself. That way pump every 3 hourly and feed your expressed milk to baby instead of formula
Bottle feeding has its effects such as baby will find it difficult to accept bottle, baby can become prone to ear infections, etc
Breastfeeding will help your baby and yourself in many many ways
Kindly have a positive attitude and continue breastfeeding
