Hello,
* At 3.5 months of age, mother`s breast milk is the best and richest source of nutrients with immune status boosting via IgA antibodies in clostrum.
* However, if the breast milk supply is not sufficient to fulfill the satiety of the child, one can opt for preferred formula as per the guidance of his pediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
