First of all any woman who can give birth to a baby has capacity to produce milk and you have to avoid anxiety and comfortably keep on feeding / Remember that all women have brought up their children before formula was invented. But if you give it do not give in bottle and feed with spoon after giving breast milk,sitting in comfortable and relaxed manner. You can , if you need give cow's milk

Have patience & try breast feeding,most likely lactation will resume, if not you can express breastmilk & feed baby in hygenic way. Avoid all top milk,bottle. Feed baby every 2 hours.
