A. Thank you for sharing this concern. It is common for mothers to experience let down triggered only when the baby latches. However, there are ways to manually express milk even when the baby is not latched, such as massaging the breast and using a warm compress. A breast pump, manual or automatic, can also be a helpful tool to assist with expressing milk. It is recommended to consult with a lactation consultant or healthcare provider for further guidance and support. Keep up the good work!

A. Hello dear parent! It is a very common finding. Try with Babyhug breast pump. Consult your doctor for further advice. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated while breastfeeding your baby. Good luck and take care
