Answer

Can i use manual breast pump to give milk to my baby he doesn’t accept my breasts

Answer

Hi,
Then 500 ml is more than enough dear. I would suggest to keep latching from direct breast in morning and after coming back home for continuing supply of your breastmilk.
   Continue breastfeeding till 6 month exclusively and don't forget to burp after every feed. You should have good diet if you are breastfeeding.

Answer

Hi,
It is good dear. Don't give your milk by expressing dear. Breastfeeding should be on demand only that means whenever baby asks for it, give it.
  Generally babies get their weight thrice by 1 year and twice by 6 month of their birth weight. Continue breastfeeding till 6 month exclusively and don't forget to burp after every feed
