A. Hello mom Mostly babies don’t start taking proper milk when they are having or suffering in latching nipples. In such case you can start using Babyhug nipple shields it will help baby to latch the nipples properly. Otherwise you can use breast pump to express your milk and can feed with the help of bottle Happy parenting
