POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy5 months agoA. It’s okay—many moms face difficulty with breastfeeding, and you're not alone. There can be several reasons why breastfeeding may not be working, like low milk supply, latching issues, pain while feeding, or even health or emotional stress. What’s important is that your baby is fed, loved, and growing well, whether it’s through breast milk or formula.
Here are some gentle options you can consider:
Expressing Milk:
Try using a breast pump (manual or electric) to express and feed through a bottle. Even small amounts of breast milk are beneficial.
Formula Feeding:
Today’s formulas are nutritionally complete and safe. Choose one based on your baby’s age and tolerance (like cow milk-based, gentle digest, etc.)
Mixed Feeding:
Combine formula and breast milk (pumped or direct) if you're able to produce some milk.
Hydration & Diet for You:
Drink plenty of fluids and eat protein-rich foods (like dals, nuts, ghee, and leafy greens) to help support any milk supply if you wish to try again.
Consult a Lactation Expert:
They can guide you through latching, positioning, and boosting supply if you still want to breastfeed.
