A. Breastfeeding is always a very important factor for the baby and mother and many times there are some problem faced by mother because of either wrong position while feeding lack of proper diet stress related factors. A proper is counselling is required which can be done by a lactational counsellor along with a proper diet with plenty of liquids some supplements may be helpful like shatavari . Also try to avoid giving tobjp milk in initial stage specially with bottle feeding which may bec the culprit for lactational failure most of the time .

A. Obviously it is very exhausting for anybody so I think your child is either not getting sufficient feeding from you as in the flow of the milk is really very slow or your child is unable to take on do it properly like the latching is very poor so in this case my suggestion is to consult a lactation specialist one time
