A. Hi ..try to latch directly to your breast..and also Continue spoon feeding as well.. give your baby is in the right position, Lightly compress your breast, giving it a shape more closely resembling your baby's mouth. Turn her mouth toward your breast; then tickle her lips with your nipple until her mouth is open wide.Allowing her to take your nipple and areola into her mouth.
