A. Hello dear parent! Few babies will have sucking issues in the start. Would suggest you to take advice from a lactation expert. Latch the baby well onto the breast and baby holds on for more than 10 to 20 minutes. Follow your doctor’s instructions diligently. Be patient and persistent with efforts
