Feeding has been reduced
Hi doctor.. I have a 2 and half month old girl baby. From one week she is not taking the milk properly. I'm giving her both breast milk and formula feed. Nowadays she is not taking it properly. She has reduced the quantity. What should I do. And what is the average amount of milk that a 2 and half month baby should take?

Hi,
Babies as they grow older reduce the feeding time and duration between feeds increases. This is normal
Next Steps
If baby is gaining weight adequately, nothing to worry

Why have you introduced formula milk when the breast milk is sufficient,a baby would consume approximately 80 ml per feed which is given ten to twelve times a day
