thank you both..u ppl r ryt evn I felt d same to breastfeed my baby exclusively till six month but whatever I told above was the reason to ask such question of starting formula milk.Even I asked the doc he was preferred on cows milk if the baby is not satisfied and crying which I am interested to feed him cows milk which is iron deficient and causes diarrhoea in babies..hence I asked this suggestion to start with formula

You won't believe my baby was healthy and I was told I should start top feed because my baby is fat but there is no energy

Hi Mahalaxmi I can totally understand what you are feeling because I have been through the same. I believe your doctor is the best person to judge whether a baby is getting enough food or not or whether she is gaining weight or not. Breastmilk is the best! I was pressurized too but my doc did not let me give anything not even water till 6 months.

But he is not at all gaining sufficient weight.. always his stomach looks empty externally,my mom and elderly people shout at me whether m I giving sufficient milk or not..this really making me very concerned hence I feel at least once in a while feed him externally also...m I correct??

It is best to breast feed if possible till six months exclusively. Then you can start some solids with the recommendation of your doctor.
