Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
If your breasts are producing enough milk then there is no reason for the child to not to take the milk if she is hungry. Do not force feed her. Feed her only when she feels hungry. Formula feed is never preferred over the breast milk as it increases the chances of infection in the baby.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
