In my opinion you should only do breatfeeding it’s easy for baby to swallow top feed then to bf as it requires a lot of suction effort so baby will shift to top feed and your breastmilk would be reduced day by day baby of 1month should have around 200ml/kg of feeds devided
In 8 times in 24 hour so try to increase bf and remove lactogen

If you are able to breast feed adequately then there is no need to give lactogen or any other formula at all
