When to start bottle feeding the baby
My son is 1 month old currently weighted 2.5 kg (he was born prematurely - 34.5 weeks). He is on complete breastfeed. As it gets exhausting for the mother, can we start bottle feed (formula milk - similac) once a day for our baby ? If not, when should we start with bottle feed along with breastfeed?
