A. Hello dear parent! Be patient and persistent in your efforts. Gradually your baby will get used to it. Latch your baby well onto your breast and make a good skin contact with your baby. Consult a lactation expert for advice. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby.
