A. You can use breast pump to extract the milk and feed your baby. Ensure to use a good one. But note that all the parts should be sterilised properly and after every use. Also try breastfeeding its important too. sometimes and it could happen if baby is uncomfortable the other side or is not able to latch well or the flow could be more or less or nipple could be small or big. Just try to hold baby conveniently and try once. Slowly they will use it when they are comfortable.
