Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. very important to see that position and attachment while breastfeeding the child is proper.
if improper the child will continue to suck for long hrs without getting any milk
meet lactational counsellor who will guide regarding this.
see videos on you tube for breastfeeding position and attachment.
take plenty of water, home made diet, seasonal fruits and vegetables, milk for increasing breast milk for yourself.
take 15 to 30 days weight and growth assessment by the doctor.
meet doctor who will tell you syringe method to decrease flat nipple

AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 8 m old boy3 years agoA. Hello mam
As u have flat nipples, then u can feed ur baby with nipple shield like babyhug nipple shield ..
Then it will be easy for the baby to latch properly.
Exclusive breast feed ur baby till six months.
Take care and all the best
