2021-11-30 17:36:55
My baby is 5days old.. and I had c section on 26th... got milk supply on 4th day... she was on formula milk by then... now she is not ready to latch... when ever she sees my breast she starts crying... note - my nipples are very big that might be one of the reason for not latching... but I want to breast feed her... I am so afraid that she won't.. what should I do ? Please give me solution so that she starts breast feeding
