A. if the baby is having latching problem because of small nipple you can use nipple shield to feed the baby e r can you express breast milk also . .

A. sometimes and it could happen if baby is uncomfortable the other side or is not able to latch well or the flow could be more or less or nipple could be small or big. Just try to hold baby conveniently and try once. Slowly they will use it when they are comfortable.
