Hi, I'am Dr Suresh K Yadav MD (paediatrics), I had gone through your question and understand your concerns,

Yes you can give her breast milk saved in refrigerator . You should train her to take milk by spoon. Any approved formula available in market which suits her taste can be given. one more question ,is she 3 year or 3 months old . In case of 3 years she should take directly by glass, and no need of formula , she can be given same milk as used for adults . She should also take other diet apart from milk .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions

Take care.
