A. It's common for some babies to have a preference for bottle feeding over breastfeeding, especially if they find it easier to get milk from the bottle. However, breastfeeding provides numerous benefits and is recommended for newborns. You can try to encourage breastfeeding by creating a calm, comfortable environment, and offering the breast when your baby is calm or drowsy. Skin-to-skin contact and trying different breastfeeding positions may help. Be patient and avoid pressure, as forcing the baby can lead to further resistance. If the problem persists, consult a lactation consultant or pediatrician for personalized advice.

A. Hello parent, you are growing your child very nicely. Just remember that and acknowledge this with mother or the child as well, as many times as you can. Its ok to bottle fed your baby only once in a day since baby might face colic and gas issues after drinking milk from bottle. Compulsory use steriliser for bottle cleaning. When baby is hungry start feeding from bottle and switch to breast feeding in 1 min, this way she will get more comfortable as she is hungry, we tried this and works for us. Hope this helps. Happy parenting.
