Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
It is well proved that breastfeeding is the best for the baby. No brand of powder milk can match it.
It's sad that you are not able to give breastfeeding to your baby. Did you ask your doctor or a lactation consultant for guidance regarding decreased milk? I suggest you meet one if you haven't as we need to examine you and find why you don't have enough milk. Also some medicines can be given to increase mother's milk.
Colic aid drops can be safely given to the baby for crying which is commonly due to colic.
Foods other than milk can be started at 4-6 months after birth. Since your baby is not getting mother's milk, they can be started after 4 months safely.
I find this answer helpful
