HomeQuestions & AnswersHello, my baby is now 3 months old. Since the day of my C-section, I've been facing challenges with breastfeeding. Despite numerous attempts, my baby doesn't latch and cries when brought close to my breast. I've resorted to feeding formula milk, and for the past two months, I used a nipple shield. Recently, my milk supply has reduced to only drops. When I attempted breastfeeding without the shield, my baby latched briefly but started crying immediately. I want to mention that shortly after delivery, my mother-in-law tried latching him, and he did latch that day. However, since then, my baby has been refusing to latch onto my breast. please advise.

Dr GhouseGuardian of 3 children2 years agoA. better contact lactational expert in person and discuss the matter. if there is no relief it is better you see your doctor for proper examination particularly physical examination if there is need for doing investigations to find out the problem and treatment ok

NikithaMom of 2 children2 years agoA. hello if the baby is not able to latch directly then you can also express the milk with breast oump like babyhug and feed the same using a BPA free bottle which would be the better option and also taking lactation medicine can help improve the milk secretion
