Please avoid cows milk until 1 y age. Continue breast milk and give formula only if required. Always choose breast milk over formula because as you continue to breast feed the milk flow will increase. So without losing hope please continue breast milk. How much ever comes it’s ok because as your baby continues to feed and suck on the breast the milk will definitely increase.
How to know if breast milk is adequate for your baby?
If there is adequate weight gain and baby is sleeping well and passing urine many times in a day then it means your breast milk is adequate for your baby
