A. practice makes a man perfect.. the More frequently you feed...more will be production and child will learn more.. hold your areola in between two fingers and put it gently n baby's mouth, spray some milk to help child find milk

A. If The child is unable to latch on to the breast properly it is always recommended that you should use a breast pump and with that you should express your feet and give it to the child because that is the right way to deal with the situation so you can start the right now also if you have sufficient breastfeed you can feed your child with the help of a bottle as well
