#asktheexperts I have started exclusive pumping and feeding through bottle since i failed at all attempts to breastfeed. Its been 10-12 days i started and my baby accepted the bottle well, but from last 3 days he keeps pushing the bottle away and cries. Now i dont know how to feed him. He drinks little(around 80 ml) only when sleepy and rejects when fully awake n active. Please help urgently i am so worried, what should i do.

A. it's always better to have proper breastfeeding to the baby as it avoids many chances of gas in stomach and which is more due to bottle feeding if you are willing to continue bottle feeding you have to give proper 3 to 4 burps after each feed

Q. #asktheexperts My baby was feeding through nipple shield for 3 months since all my direct breastfeeding attempts failed . After 3 months it was observed that his weight was not increasing as expected, hence i introduced bottle with expressed milk. For few says he took it happily but then from last 6-7 days he is refusing to take bottle and he is not even drinking through the shield. I have to forcefully feed him every time. I dont know what i am doing wrong. What should i do? I am worried about his health.

Q. My baby boy is 3.5 months old and i have started exclusive pumping and feeding through bottle. This process is very hectic but i started doing it because I failed at all direct breastfeeding attempts which was impacting my baby’s weight. I pump one breast at a time and express around 120 ml and I pump every 2-3 hours alternate breasts . This process is so hectic with all the time washing and sterilizing.Please suggest if there are any tips to make this process easier , practical and doable until atleast more 3 months i.e till my baby is 6 month old.
