A. Hi mommy Consult with your doctor or lactation experts once in person for proper physical examination and treatment Squeeze your nipple frequently Try to keep head up position while feeding Breastfeeding on a regular basis will naturally cause your body to produce more milk You can use natural bottle you can see how much milk your baby is drinking It contains ultrasoft breast shaped nipples which support a natural latch and match the feel of a breast making changes from breast to bottle as easy as possible for you and your baby
