Breastfeeding
My baby is two months old. I couldnt breastfeed during the first few weeks due to cracked and bleeding nipples. Formula was given to the baby using bottle. After those weeks, i started breastfeeding, but her hunger wasnt satisfied with it. So i had to supplement formula over it. Now she latches and unlatches continuously during breastfeeding and dosent feed while baby is awake. When she feels sleepy, she breastfeeds. Why is that so doc? Is thier any solution for this?

We really need to examine you and ur baby for this as it is a possibility that Ur baby has developed taste for formula milk ,or may u still have abrasions there which ur baby doesn't like .
