Not feeding my breast milk
Recently I was blessed with a baby girl via c- section, she is 6 days old. Initial days baby is in bottled milk. I started feeding her from 3 Rd day but she was not feeding my breast milk. When I put my nipple near her mouth.her expression is like some unwanted thing came to her.irritation face is putting. She is not putting my nipple in her mouth.
I have asked my bhabi to feed her and she started lactating her milk.
Can you please suggest to me what I can do I am very much worried.and it is very stressful for me.
Why my baby is not feeding milk.what should I do to feed her.
Please suggest me how I feed my breast milk to my baby
Hi
Please dont worry about this. It is quite common for babies to refuse feeding the first few days. Remember, the baby is young and does not know the procedure to feed. And also, they are extremely short tempered. They expect everything to be right ..
It will help for you to see a breast feeding nurse. Who can go through the situation and assist you. Its extremely important to breast feed, so that the baby gets the right nutrients and you continue producing enough milk.
In the mean time , continue to express the milk and feed it through a spoon carefully after learning the method
Please see the nurse and remember it's very common and never blame yourself.
