A. babies 1 month old is not the baby problem it is the fault at your breastfeeding position also you should not give formula milk at all to baby it will cause a lot of digestion problems and baby will have a lot of stomach pain

A. Hi dear try you can take help and try to feed your baby. While they hold the baby you can feed the baby and help baby to latch. It would take a few weeks to get trained. Have patience and feed baby. Make sure you sit comfortably and feed baby. Support yourself with cushions an d pillows and you can feed. Also teach your baby to latch slowly. if you have flat or inverted nipples, your baby may struggle to latch on. Go for a nipple shield that your baby is comfortable to suck else it may be difficult for baby to suck you can even take help from your doctor to chose the right one.
