#AskTheExpert Good Morning sir My four months baby is not taking milk from mother. Baby is only drinking milk from feeding bottle. Baby does not want to put more effort to drink milk from mother. However mother is having sufficient milk. Sir kindly suggest how to make the baby to drink milk from mother.

A. You can use breast pump to pump out milk and feed to your baby with a bowl and a spoon or even a bottle. Maintain skin to skin contact with your child. This might help the baby to get used to the feel of the breasts. Hand express your breast milk. Try to use a different breastfeeding position. Offer the breast while baby is drowsy or in a light sleep. Start by bottle feeding in a breast feeding position and while baby is actively sucking and swallowing, pull out the bottle nipple and insert yours. Some babies might just keep suckling.
