My baby is 26 days old. Since I have flat nipples I had to use nipple shield. After feeding he is calm but still if I offer him lactogen formula milk he can drink complete bottle in a go. I am very much confused about his hunger.

If your baby is having formula milk on top of breast milk, he is definitely hungry. Breast milk does not seem to be sufficient for him. Even though breast milk is the best, however if your baby is hungry, you can give formula milk along with breast milk.

Hi lybrate-user, you should continue breast feeding with nipple shield or else your child will not take breast feeding as child is taking bottle fed. You should give bf for a week then see enough weight gain is there or not. If baby gained good weight then no need of topfeed.

Hi, this is not a problem to worry. These hunger effect differ fron baby to baby. Try to feed mother's milk always. Regular feeding of supplement milk alters the baby taste sense and may avoid mother's milk. Hope this information helps you.

Sometimes children may feed on full stomach too. Top feed is an easy alternative for babies and they also prefer it. If feeding is adequate, top feed can be stopped. But individual decision must be taken taking many factors into consideration.Need a lot more information to guide you better.

This shows that the baby is not having full milk from the breast he calms down after sucking because he is a little satisfied with small amount of milk as well as gets consoled by the act of sucking but as he is still hungry he is able to take milk from bottle as well but what you should do is that you should express breast milk in a katori and can give with spoonfor further questions can contact on ng94 e6.
