Breast feeding
Hello,
We were blessed with a girl child in Aug this yr. My wife was able to breastfeed since her conceiving until a few weeks now. Since the past 2-3 weeks she is unable to do so.
She has got a breast reduction surgery done in early 2016.
I am concerned about my daughter not getting the proper nourishment and immunity that is generally transferred by mothers milk.
Please advise.
Thank You.

Yes,agreed,nothing can replace mother's milk.
But if unavoidable,use any infant formula for 9 months of life,then you can switch to open milk,as the baby is mainly on solids then.
Do NOT give open milk,specially cow's milk till then.
