What is an appropriate substitute for breastmilk?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My 2-month-old baby weighs 7.7 pounds and my breast milk seems insufficient. Could you please advise on an appropriate substitute to provide and how to go about it?

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Rohit Jain

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

It is important to address these types of queries through a personal consultation. Therefore, I would suggest you consult a pediatrician regarding your baby's low weight. I would also suggest you consult your gynecologist or a lactation consultant to address the problem and increase your supply.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you.
