Hi, My baby is 3 months old now. I am giving him lactogen formula milk & breast milk as well. I am trying to skip formula but he is habitual for that if I am not giving he cry and not take breastfeed also. What can I do? Please help.

You will have to cut down on formula feeding and tolerate the baby's crying for a few days.

Follow a technique known as nipple confusion. Make the baby lie on your lap and give him bottle feeds as you give. After say one 2 min of feeding. Shift him / her to breast feeding within just 2 to 3 seconds. There should not be much delay in switching from bottle to mother feed. This wil make the baby confuse. And he will be under the impression that he is still on bottle feed. Try this.
