A. Hello mom Then how are you feeding the formula milk to the baby? Have you tried to pump your milk and feed that will be a better idea check the nipple as per his age and the flow of the milk how it is basing on that you can select .also get him examined by paediatrician to check his oral cavity mostly if there is an issue for feeding
