hi my baby is 8 days old and m having latching problems with him. he drinks my milk from.the bottle after I pump easily but doesn't wanna latch but starts crying badly when I try to latch him . I feel I have inverted nipples maybe thats why. he also doesn't feel full after having my breast milk . I feel really frustration. tried using nipple shield, feeding pillow but all in vain. last option is that I pump and feed him in bottle. can I do that? if yes how many times and for how much time can I pump? regards
