Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I suggest you and request you not to start on any other alternatives.
Please continue to breast feed.
That is good for your baby.
It helps in his brain development and protects against infections
There are several other advantages of breast feeding.
If your wife is working she can very well express the milk and store it.
Using a refrigerator you can store the milk till she comes back.
There is nothing like milk is not sufficient.
Only motivation is required.
If a mother thinks of her baby lovingly milk will definitely come and will be enough for the baby.
More the baby suckles at the breast more the milk.
Please do not try any thing else.
A
breast pump may help to express the milk.
You may contact me with further details on the following URL...........
