Breastmilk is best: Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for a baby at least upto 6 months or even longer if possible. You can breast feed every 2-4 hours preferably directly or expressed milk in a bottle. Formula should be kept to a minimal. While there is nothing wrong in mixing breast milk with formula it's not recommended simply because you end up wasting your precious breast milk
