A. Hi dear try you can take help and try to feed your baby. While they hold the baby you can feed the baby and help baby to latch. It would take a few weeks to get trained. Have patience and feed baby. Make sure you sit comfortably and feed baby. Support yourself with cushions an d pillows and you can feed. Also teach your baby to latch slowly. Feed baby in elevated position. Burp very slowly after every feed. Burp in between the feeds too. Don't give more pressure to baby tummy when you try to feed. Also don't over feed baby. Check if baby is able to latch properly. Always express little milk before feeding. This is will help to get only required mil for baby. Ensure to use right size nipples for bottle feed.
