A. yes, it's safe fir you to pump breast milk. try to latch directly to your breast..and also Continue spoon feeding as well.. give your baby is in the right position, Lightly compress your breast, giving it a shape more closely resembling your baby's mouth. Turn her mouth toward your breast; then tickle her lips with your nipple until her mouth is open wide.Allowing her to take your nipple and areola into her mouth.
