#asktheexpert My baby does not latch properly I am currently feeding him using nipple shield. He cries a lot while feeding and gets asleep after sometime and also after an hour of feeding he is in search of more milk. Please suggest what I should do. Whether my milk supply is less due to which he stays hungry even after an hour of feeding.
