A. very important to see that position and attachment while breastfeeding the child is proper. if improper the child will continue to suck for long hrs without getting any milk meet lactational counsellor who will guide regarding this. see videos on you tube for breastfeeding positiond and attachment. take plenty of water, home made diet, seasonal fruits and vegetables, milk for increasing breast milk for yourself.d take 15 to 30 days weight and growth assessment by the doctor. there is no problem in using nipple shield while giving breastfeeding. it is important to maintain hygiene of the nipple shield with proper cleaningd as well as sterilization. if the mother and the child is comfortable and the growth of the child is proper then you can continue to use it

A. Hello dear parent! Latch your baby well onto your breast and make a good skin contact with your baby. The more your baby suckles your breastmilk directly the better. Consult your doctor for further assistance. Good luck and take care
