Combined feedg of breastmilk and formula
Hi,
Baby is 15 days old.My milk production is very low..and baby is also not latching properly...even if he feeds for 10 mins, he cries a lot immediately after because he is hungry...so I give top feed of formula..but everytime I am combining both at the same time he starts crying inconsolably...maybe because of indigestion
Should i not give formula immediately after breastmilk? The times when I am not combining he is sleeping very well and is not crying at all.

Give formula immediately after breast milk. First give breast milk and later formula to satisfy hunger. Please meet a lactation consultant. There are ways to increase breast milk
