Hello dr my baby is 12 days old and he is refusing breastfeeding from birth , I am giving formula milk 15-20 ml in every 2-3 hours and I am spoon feeding my baby but it's very hard to spoon feed because he spit half of milk from mouth while feeding . I am trying for breastfeeding but he is not taking at all. plss suggest what to do should I shift to bottle feeding or continue like this only.
