Q. 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 .
