Formula feed
My baby is 2.5 months old. My milk supply is not enough. I'm doing combination feeding of both breast milk and formula milk.
I'm using similac stage 1 formula. Can I continue the same formula or can I change. Per feed I'm giving 60ml. Whether I need to increase it? And Could you pls suggest any formula milk for healthy weight gain?

Avoid changing the formula feeds. Continue with Similac.
Feed quantity depends on
Weight gain of the child in a month
And child's hunger for feed
