POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. It's common for newborns to sometimes prefer formula because it's easier to suck from a bottle than breastfeeding. To encourage your 12-day-old son to breastfeed first, try these tips: offer breastfeeding when he’s calm and slightly hungry (not very hungry or upset), create a quiet, comfortable feeding environment, and avoid giving formula right before breastfeeding to prevent nipple preference. You can also try skin-to-skin contact to stimulate his natural feeding reflex. If he refuses breastfeeding, offer small attempts frequently rather than forcing. If the issue continues, consulting a lactation specialist can help improve latch and feeding confidence.
