Breastfeeding issue

2024-05-25 09:58:40
I am mother of a one-month-old baby girl. Due to certain circumstances, I had to start bottle feeding her, and now she refuses to breastfeed, possibly due to nipple confusion. When I try to breastfeed, she only cries and refuses. Could you please provide some tips to help transition her back to exclusive breastfeeding? Thank you!

It will be a gradual process. Start with breastfeeding feeding when child is hungry and then give bottle.

Try to encourage spoon/ palladi feeds and try to get her to suckle early on by identifying hunger cues. It is a difficult phase that needs a lot of patience.
