Q.

#AskTheExpert My baby is 23days old.. She was premature with 1.6kg weight. Now she is 2.3kg. After bringing her home i started bottle feeding with formula milk and pumping breast milk. Now i am unable to make her direct latch.. Tried a lot. I can't understand what to do. is there i have to pump and feed her till 6month?? Breast milk is also not enough to fulfill her need. how to increase?? Is there any side effect of pumping breast milk??

A. thankits ok. its great you have been trying and by whatever amount you have given , your baby will be benefited. Formula is made especially for babies., taking care of their nutrition. also immunity depends not only upon breastfeeding. it depends on physical activity, diet, nutrition, environmental factors, genetics in future.

A. hello there ma'am please do not worry about it too much and also have shatavari powder with cow milk twice a day and soaked meethi seeds early in the morning to produce more milk. nd also keep kn trying direct feeding and massage on brest before feeding and press with your fingers near nipple area at the time if breastfeeding. take care
