A. hi baby will take time to learn how to latch on nipple. also babies get used to the feeding habits over time. you can express your breast milk and feed yput baby. also continue offering breast whenever you feel baby is hungry. this will help in improving is feeding techniques. do keep on expressing breast milk or supply will go down as it depends on baby's demand.

A. Hi dear Check if baby is gaining adequate weight. In the initial 3 months, babies put on about 1 kg each month. From 3-6 months, weight gain reduces to 1/2 kg/month. from 6-9 months, it becomes 1/3, and for 9-12 months, it settles to 1/4 kg. the birth weight doubles in the 4th month and triples when they reach 12 months of age I think this should help your cause
