Hello! Thank you for writing us here.
Its not good if you're feeding the baby with formulas and other child supplements.
No matter what just breast milk should be given for at least 6 months. It would help the baby to develop immunity.
Also there's whining foods which should be given along with milk. Banana is very good and also improve the gut health.
I would suggest to stop the formula food and change the diet of baby to just breast milk for next couple of months.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
