A. No, dear mum, do not go for bottle feeding. Ensure that your baby latches properly while feeding. Have frequent skin to skin contact with baby. Bottle feeding increases the chances of infection.

Q. #asktheexpert My baby is 1 month old. She drinks directly from mother’s breast but she starts crying every 10-15 minutes after feeding. When she drinks from bottle she is relaxed for 2 hours. We feed her mostly through bottle since direct feeding is not working.
