I think the baby must be crying due to some other reason as mother milk would easily be sufficient for a one month old baby . Formula milk should be avoided as no baby should be denied the goodness of mother's milk as once you start the formula feeds the hormones necessary for producing mother milk become lazy and milk production reduces
Next Steps
Continue giving your feed only . If your baby is passing urine 6 to 8 times a day , sleeps 2 to 3 hrs after the feed and is gaining weight adequately it means she is getting adequate milk and doesn't need formula .
