Hi, my baby is one month old. Initially, I had inverted nipple so my baby was unable to latch on to my breast for feeding, so we are feeding him the pumped breastmilk till now using the bottle. Now I'm trying to feed him directly but he's not able to latch now as well. he's latching using nipple shield but directly he's not even trying to latch on to my breast and crying very hard whenever I'm trying to give him my breast. How to resolve this problem. please help with your suggestions

A. Hello dear parent! Any change might not be easily accepted. Be patient and persistent in your efforts. Latch your baby well onto your breast and make a good skin contact with your baby while you try to breastfeed your baby

Q. #AskTheExpert My baby is one month old. I am giving him formula feed and expressed breast milk in a bottle as he cannot latch on as I have small nipples. I used to feed him using a nipple shield but he knocks off the nipple shield while feeding so I am unable to use it now. Can I still teach my baby to latch on while still bottle feeding ?
