A. hello mum one thing comes to my mind is once you feed the baby with your bottle try latching onto your breast and help baby to suck simply that will help to get used to the breast before you completely want that once you are able to match your baby on your breast reduce the amount of milk yogi and then half of portions half pumpkin halfway breast that loves help you have to try different ways
