My wife gave birth to a baby girl on 7th November, 2020. At first she was drinking breast milk very well. But for the last few days she is not latching onto the breast & not sucking milk. My wife is feeding her by pumping breast milk. She has mild cold too. Please suggest what to do

Hi,
Do not bottle feed. Try only breast feeds. Feed the baby when she is about to wake up and not when crying
Next Steps
Ask your wife to wear mask and feed the baby, if she as cold.
