A. Hello, your baby boy is 1 month old and he doesn’t take breast feeding properly but he accepts bottle feeding well then either your breast milk is not enough or breast nipples are flat or small or inverted one

Q. #asktheexpert I have a 12-day-old baby. I have a good milk supply, but my nipples are not protruding, so my baby can't latch on properly. In the beginning, we used a breast pump to feed my baby, but now she is used to the bottle. She can't adapt to breastfeeding, and when I try to feed her directly from my breast, she cries a lot. When I feed her breast milk with a bottle, she is calm and sleeps well. What can I do to address this issue? Everyone says that once she gets used to latching onto the breast, she will do it properly.
