Troubles with breastfeeding and Latching

2024-02-25 16:35:00
Hello, I have a 4 day old baby girl. My nipples are not properly protruding and hence my baby is unable to latch. Milk is also not coming properly yet. I am feeding formula milk and baby is taking good amounts. I have used breast pump and fed some 10 ml for the first time to my baby today I am feeling very anxious please guide what can I do better and things I should definitely avoid. Should I consider a lactation consultant or wait for few more days
