Hello.
If weight gain is appropriate you can express your breast milk and katori spoon feed your child.
If not possible, top feed should be done with these utensils and not the bottle. Take care.

Ideally it would be the best, if exclusive breastfeeding is continued till end 6 months .
In case this is not possible , then u can start any age specific formulae feed based on your choice.
