If ur baby is gaining weight properly and passing urine 6to8 times a day u should not worry. Adequate weight gain shows that baby is getting enough milk. U should not give formula milk unless baby is not gaining adequate weight. for first 6months mothers milk is the best. Early introduction of supplementary feeds poses the risk of infection and allergies in babies. So unless really required one should not give formula milk or any other milk
