Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If you are not a working mother exclusive breast feeding is best for the baby.
If you frequently feed the baby with calm and quiet mind breast feeding will be sufficient.
Most of the mothers worry that the milk is not sufficient for the baby.
This worry reduce the milk yield reflexly.
Otherwise you can go for formula feed, no worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
