A. if the baby is having trouble in sucking the nipple you have to help your baby out because in the beginning it is quite natural for small babies to be a little bit unable to do it but you can always make sure that you help your baby by holding your nipple and protect it properly inside the mouth of the building and pressing a gently so the milk is going inside
