Q.

Hi, my baby is 3.5 mths and has stopped breast feeding.. he is totally on top feed (powdered milk).. what is the solution to get him back on top feed.. I have tried multiple ways to avoid top feed... but he doesn't have milk until top feed is not given .. Also can I start giving him cow milk instead of top milk ?

A. hi i also have same story. my baby was not latching and cried if I do so instead demanding bottle .then tried nipple shield if it would be comfortable for him.but for me it worked for few months .you may try feeding by shield or try using natural feeding bottle it may help get back .or may use breast pump and give expressed milk aas much as possible

A. Hello dear parent! Try express feeding your baby if required. Be patient and persistent in your efforts. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby. Outside milk should be given only after one year completion. Good luck and take care.
