A. Hi, as soon as Baby wakes up. Try to latch the baby directly. HOld baby in 30° angle position and make sure the Aerola is completely inside the mouth which will make baby to latch easily. After breastfeeding then give bottle feed. Try to avoid bottle feed first.Usually baby will get confuse between the breast feed and bottle feed. Once baby get used to bottle feed, baby will avoid latching directly. Have a healthy diet food like fibre and calcium rich food and take adequate liquid and keep yourself hydrated. Take five meals in a day. Do not give keep your self hunger.Take adequate liquid and keep yourself hydrated. Take Iron and calcium supplements until one year as suggested by your gynaecologist.Write Your Answer Here
