Hi My baby doesn't take the breast feed properly. So, I am giving formula milk once a day and have started using breast pump also. With pump I am giving him once a day and for remaining, my direct feed . Please suggest what should be done because I think from my direct feed he is not getting the required amount of milk. Please guide .

Q. #asktheexpert I have a 12-day-old baby. I have a good milk supply, but my nipples are not protruding, so my baby can't latch on properly. In the beginning, we used a breast pump to feed my baby, but now she is used to the bottle. She can't adapt to breastfeeding, and when I try to feed her directly from my breast, she cries a lot. When I feed her breast milk with a bottle, she is calm and sleeps well. What can I do to address this issue? Everyone says that once she gets used to latching onto the breast, she will do it properly.
