Q.

#asktheexperts it’s been 20 days and still my baby is not drinking milk directly from me rather I’m expressing it and feeding him. What to do to make him habituate to my milk directly or for latching

A. Hi mom Some babies they take time to latch... So no need to worry. Keep the baby head a bit elevated while feeding and put whole of the nipple and most of the aerola in the babies mouth so that baby latches easily. Try to feed in the position in which baby is comfortable sucking. U can also try to feed in sleeping position..
