Cluster feeding bad or not ?

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

Is it wrong to cluster feed my baby . He is 1 month old now . I breastfeed him directly or pump my milk using a breast pump . But in 24 hours I give him formula milk twice . Is it wrong to give formula milk ?? The reason I need formula milk is coz his hunger has increased and whenever he is awake he demands for milk in every half hour , so it's not possible to breastfeed him in such a less time gap due to my c section . Plus sometimes I feel maybe gradually with his increase in hunger I may not be able to produce that much milk . Pls suggest what to do .

Plz continue Exclusive breast feeding. As the babies age and weight increases...breast milk out put also increases. As baby is crying every 1/2 hr..means..there is a problem..in feeding technique or handling the baby. Take help of nurse or pediatrician to whom you are showing the baby to address the breast feeding practices. Need positive reinforcement.
