For a new born baby, breastmilk is gold. Please try to express as much possible or feed the baby directly. The prebiotics in breastmilk helps the most in fighting against infections and builds immunity. However, if she needs to choose a formula, choose the one that contains prebiotics. Discuss with the doctor about the same.
