So here is not child hungry. Child at this age cries for several reasons, several times without a reason. So if child is passing urine 8 times a day, then formula milk carries no meaning at all. Continue breastfeeding only. Avoid pacifiers as much as possible as it can be a source of infection. Crying can be due to colic, cold temp, urine bag full, while passing urine or wet diapers so not to feed during each cry. However, the sucking movement is a pacifier for the child so he demands feed when crying. Still having doubts then can take a consult.

Hi It is advisable to not give anything except breastmilk till 6 months of age. Also please refrain using from pacifier. As it leads to reduced feeding of the baby and infections. Besides your baby will not suck your breast if you put a habit of pacifier

No pacifier May not require formula feed , just monitor urine, if passing urine more than 7-8 times ...breast feeding is sufficient. Don't worry...just remain stress-free and drink 2-2.5 liters water
