A. whenever you are giving bottle feeding to the child there is very high tendency that the child will take more feeding from the bottle and will not take feeding from the breast as the flow of milk is very easy from the bottle compared to mothers milk. this is also known as nipple confusion. it is advisable to meet lactation expert who will guide you how to go about it

A. Hello dear parent! Check if the flow of milk is suitable to feed on. Few babies have problem in latching. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated healthy all through the day while breastfeeding your baby. Check with d lactation expert for advice. Good luck and take care.
