Failure in Breastfeeding
My baby is 45 days old. He is on formula from birth as I had a c section. I do lactate but it's just few drops. I have been drinking Galact powder and many more. My baby doesn't latch properly. Should I keep trying to make my milk supply more or is it too late for me to properly breastfeed him? Will I lactate properly or not? My paediatrician said it's already late for me
