I have a hard time breastfeeding my baby. She never gets enough and she's fussy, she cries while breastfeeding and barely sleeps. I'm thinking of stopping breastfeeding and switching to formula milk.

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
I do not recommend that you discontinue breastfeeding, because you would be denying your child the many benefits found in breast milk, especially the antibodies that confer protection against diseases, and the protection against cow milk protein intolerance.
You could however resort to milk formula at night since it takes a longer time to be digested thus ensuring that your baby will sleep a longer stretch of time.
