A. hi first ,I advise to try different feeding positions. make skin to skin Contact while feeding your child which help to encourage your child to take direct breastfeeding. better to give breastmilk within one hour of it's extraction.

Q. I am a new mom, my baby is 17days old. Due to flat nipples he doesn't latch properly, Also after the delivery milk was not segregated, so doctor advised to give formula milk. Once I started to produce milk, using nipple shield, I started to feed him since he doesn't latch. Since the milk supply is not enough, he take FM of 30ml per day. So I started to pump and feed after BM. Some says we should not pump until 6weeks. please advise me.
