#asktheexpert My baby is 2 months 5 days old.. she was earlier taking my breastfeed and top feed both comfortably as my breastmilk was less. But now all of a sudden she has started rejecting my breastfeed. she takes it just twice a day and the rest is all top feed. I try a lot to introduce breastfeed before every feeding session but she simply rejects it and cries a lot. kindly suggest what can I do to introduce breastfeeding again?
