Hi Mam. Breast feeding is the best for overall health of the baby. Formula feeding is much inferior. Breast feeding has numerous advantages including protection from infection, allergies and cancer. It also improves body growth and brain growth, IQ of babies. Your technique of breastfeeding may be wrong and therefore milk seems to be less. Pls see the you tube link below for Proper technique of breastfeeding https://youtu.be/7fjubn2bgnk . Also new born babies sleep around 14-18 hours a day. Monitor babies weight gain after 15 days and then each vaccination visit.
