Hello good afternoon !!congratulations for being mother !! It’s one of the great and challenging experience ! I’m glad that your are trying to feed your baby . Your concern regarding formula milk is very natural but to continue with that first try to understand why you are not producing enough milk . Make sure you are having balanced diet with extra 500 cal , sleep well ( manage to sleep as long as u can ) and stay away from worries so that it will not affect your milk production ! If you don’t have any medical condition like hypothyroidism then there is no reason for low milk production you jz have to latch your baby as long as possible so that enough milk supply can achieve . Till you get enough supply you can rely on formula milk but only breastfeeding followed by bowel spoon feeding ( no milk bottle ) this way your milk production also continue and baby will also get enough milk ! stop formula milk once you achieve enough milk production !! One more thing to know you have enough milk supply check that baby is gaining weight 30 g / day and passing urine 6-8 times in 24 hours . Consult lactation expert for more guidance

Do be positive and try feeding your self as much as possible. A healthy mother can easily feed her baby on a regular basis. But if there is a genuine short fall then in that case Aptamil is a good choice.
