Question: Please my 5 months baby is underweight He was born with 36 pounds and hes just 60 pounds in 5 months I dont have enough breast milk so I feed him with formula Please can I get any help I want my son to grow well Thanks
Answer: Hi 
Sorry about your experience There is nothing wrong in feeding your baby with formula if you are not producing enough breast milk You just need to ensure that you are giving him enough of the formula as it is appropriate for his age You should feed the child as much as possible so if you are not feeding him well he wont gain weight as appropriate If you are feeding him well and he is not gaining weight then there might be another underlying factor and you should take the child to the hospital for doctors to examine and test to see what the problem might be

I wish you and your child good health
