#asktheexperts Hello Doc, My baby was born in the 34th week weighing 2.35 kg. While in the hospital, we fed him using a paladai(small feeding cup/spoon). His current weight is 2.21 kg. Should I breastfeed him directly, or continue feeding him with the paladai?

A. No no feeding directly anyways is a better option see the child is premature initially some kids take a little extra time to directly latch so you can consult a lactation specialist to help you assist you and guide you how do you need to feed the child directly
