Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.
Breastfeeding is best for baby. A child should be given exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months of age.
If however, if you feel that breastfeeding is not sufficient then formula milk like lactogen 1. Lactogen 1 takes upto 3 hours to digest as compared to 2 hours in breastfeeding.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
Regards
Dr Deepak Patel
