My baby is 16 days old. As I am not producing enough milk so my doctor suggested me to use cows milk+water for my baby feeding. But I read various negative comments also on Google regarding cow milk feeding. I was feeding my baby with cow milk from last 5 days. Today when I read on Google I stopped it. Please suggest me whether to use cows milk or not.

It is better to give only breast milk. If you give breast enough milk will be produced . After giving breast you can give top feeds with spoon and not bottle

You may use lactogen powder. It is almost equal to mother's milk in nutritional content. And safe.
