my baby is feeding both formula & bm because she is not sucking well. can I exclusively breast feed my baby from 3rd month?

yes i started exclusive breastfeeding after 2 months. Initial days were difficult as milk supply was dropped but it is demand and supply so went back to normal after a week.
Dont give up initially it will be difficult.
you can take jeera, fennel, methi seeds and lots of water to increase milk supply.

i think breast feeding is additional gift in baby care. my baby is very enthusiastic he can't control himself once if he feels hunger. due to breastfeeding it saves me. Moreover earlier i was struggled for a month to get latch him properly because I had inverted nipples.
now my baby latches very good and I too feel very comfortable and happily feeding him.

I was lactating but my baby had troubles latching on. My nurse did not offer insight on how to prep yourself before you feed in the initial days, that us, you should massage your breasts and nipples to make latching easy for your little one.
Because of incorrect latching, both of my nipples became cracked, and one even bled a little. I used to feed him through the pain not wanting to pump regularly (I used to pump when the pain was unbearable).
I used to apply an ointment to ease the pain and soon learnt the right way to feed my darling. He's 9 months old now and those painful days are long gone. So new mothers, you guys are doing great, whatever you're doing- whether it's breastfeeding or bottle feeding your milk or even formula feeding! Stay happy and blessed!

pumping also causes pain
