Yes that formula can be given. But try to sought out the reason for insufficient milk secretion .
First - is the milk really insufficient? If the child passes urine 6-8 times , sleeps for few hours after feed and gains weight adequately then the feed is adequate..then you have to find other reasons for crying.
Second - if it is insufficient then what can be done for that ? Mother has to be stress free..have adequate amount of water,proper diet..and before giving formula baby should be allowed to suck mother's milk every time..
And night time direct feeding is very important for milk secretion..
