Hello mam, as this is your 3rd baby, so you might be well aware that breastfeeding or mother's milk is the best for the baby. The weight gain of your baby is satisfactory so I think if possible you should continue exclusive breastfeeding till the age of 6 months.

Dear lybrate-user ji, weight gain is 1700 gm in 67 days which is acceptable so no need to start on formula if breast milk is enough.
