Breast Milk Or Formula Milk

I am a new mum, to a 10 days old baby. I know that in the beginning, the milk supply will be little and if you continuously nurse your baby, the more milk you produce. but i am getting little milk so far, and i am afraid that i haven't been feeding my baby well. so my doctor suggested that i should give my baby formula milk, just to add on to my breast milk so that my baby is well fed. i am getting tired of pumping my milk out and seriously considering to just stick to formula milk. i am seeing how these few weeks will go then i will decide whether to keep pumping or stick to formula. cause it was after giving my baby formula milk, my baby has been pooping and urinating well, even grow heavier. so my question is, which is better? should i continue giving my baby the breast milk?

Hello there Mommy, I experienced the same and felt I had low milk supply at 2 weeks from giving birth but it's actually normal. I learned from some vlogger moms that we can schedule our pumping accordingly in the day so we won't get worned out. I tried doing power up pump, and now have pump schedule 4 times a day and the milk I expressed is eventually getting more than enough for my baby. Taking malunggay/moringa supplements and drinking at least 3 liters of water has helped me in my breastfeeding journey too. FM is also fine though but giving BM to our babies is still the best according to Pediatricians.
