A. Hello dear parent!! Better try giving your baby milk with a spoon. It might take time for the baby to adjust, may be a couple of days. But, rest assured your baby will be able to take the feed well. Go slow with the change and do not panic. Be patient and persistent in your efforts. Good luck and take care.
