Asking for Other, Male, 1.6 years old, Karachi

My 1.6 year old baby, only takes BF, after meals, when he wabts to sleep. He refuses formula milk. Whenever I offer him. He is 8.5-kg, thts underweight. My question is that is it necessary to give Formula milk or BF is enough? He does not take feeder as well. Plz suggest me on that.
