A. yes why not. latch ok.See in such cases the child needs specialist care always. So try to follow with the same doctor and do not get anxious with s variety of opinion. Focus on treatment ok.

A. Yes Absolutely or child can practise breastfeeding the best thing is whenever the child is premature is not able to latch properly you should help your child by giving a breastfeeding whenever your child is about to suck onto your breast just press your breast with your own hands it would be easier for your child to do you know swallow the make the flow would be much better and the child-support is going to be less and with growing age your child will learn to suck in a faster manner
