A. sometimes and it could happen if baby is uncomfortable the other side or is not able to latch well or the flow could be more or less or nipple could be small or big. Just try to hold baby conveniently and try once. Slowly they will use it when they are comfortable.try you can take help and try to feed your baby. While they hold the baby you can feed the baby and help baby to latch. It would take a few weeks to get trained. Have patience and feed baby. Make sure you sit comfortably and feed baby. Support yourself with cushions an d pillows and you can feed. Also teach your baby to latch slowly
