Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Exclusive breast feeding is the best method of feeding in newborns which will give protection from various infections and chronic diseases on long term basis.
If the breast milk is not sufficient, you can give any stage 1 milk formula which are commercially available in the market.
But be careful in preparing, handling, and during feeding of infant formula milk to prevent infection and contamination of milk.
Feed formula milk with spoon and cup and avoid bottle feeding.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
