A. Hello good morning !! If baby initially habituat to bottle feed then this might happen ,you can try baby to latch for every feed initially baby will be fussy for latching but gradually habituats . You can also extract breast milk and feed through bottle but it takes time to express milk,bottle sterilization and alll. So better to give breast feed try latching or use nipple shield for easy latching...
