greetings , No problem. Just feed baby on breast feeds. It is hard in the beginning but you will succeed. You must sqeeze the milk in baby's mouth. No need to give any drug.. you have not mentioned how old is your baby. what is B.wt. and what is currentweight!
Next Steps
consult after taking appointment if needed
