Hello doctor. My baby was in the NICU for 8 days where he was given a pacifier and sometimes formula too. Now at home, the whole night he wants my nipples in his mouth and as soon as I stop he starts crying. I don't think my milk supply is low but he only gets satisfied after having half or one ounce of formula milk. Please suggest what I should do as I want to exclusively breastfeed him for 6 months.
