A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please massage your breasts gently before feeding the baby. Also make sure the baby is in correct position to latch to the breasts properly. You can also use nipple shields while feeding the baby. Rub the back of the baby gently while feeding. Please take Shatavari powder with milk twice a day to increase breast milk supply. Also feed the baby often which also helps in increasing breast milk supply. Masaage your breasts gently before feeding the baby. You can also use breast pump to take out milk which also helps in production of breast milk. Thanks and take care
