A. Hi ..try to latch directly to your breast..and also Continue spoon feeding as well.. give your baby is in the right position, Lightly compress your breast, giving it a shape more closely resembling your baby's mouth. Turn her mouth toward your breast; then tickle her lips with your nipple until her mouth is open wide.Allowing her to take your nipple and areola into her mouth.

A. Please maintain good posture while feeding use normal or feeding pillow.Dont bend yourself while feeding use a pillow under your thigh as well. To increase weight let the baby empty the breast which helps them get the hind milk which contains fats. switch to another breast only after emptying one breast.
