A. Hello mom would suggest to consult your gynaecologist for it - and get the nipple examined .. also check for yourself for the flow of your milk and also is they nipple are not inverted or very small

A. Hi mom Some babies they take time to latch properly. So no need to worry. Keep trying. Keep the baby head a bit elevated while feeding and put whole of the nipple and most of the aerola in the babies mouth so that baby latches easily.. Use anti colic feeding bottles to avoid gas in stomach. U can buy#Babyhug anti colic feeding bottles that are BPA free.
