A. Comfort your baby, and keep offering your breast. Before long, your baby will start nursing again.

A. latching is natural,but it takes time for few babies to latch,in such conditions u should keep on trying regularly ,baby will gradually start latching after some time.Your baby has been fed from a bottle whilst she will not able to breastfeed, some babies can get used to the feeling of the bottle; harder silicone instead of softer breast tissue. Because the nipple shield feels similar to a bottle teat, it can be used to coax a reluctant baby to accept the breast. so u can try nipple shield. or when ur baby is hungry first try for direct latching, baby may cry coz she is in habit of bottle feed. Also try this when baby is sleeping.

A. Hello mom When you start giving a milk with the feeding bottles, then babies don’t like to take a milk directly from the breast because they have to do more struggle while feeding directly from the breast rather than drinking or having a milk from a feeding bottles. So now it will be difficult for baby to latch, so you have to continue pumping the milk and give the milk from the feeding bottle.
