A. Hi mom Keep the baby head a bit elevated while feeding and put whole of the nipple and most of the aerola in the babies mouth so that baby sucks easily. Also u can feed ur baby in lying down position. See if ur baby is comfortable sucking in this position. The more u feed the more milk production will be there. If milk is less then yes u can give formula milk to ur baby
