Whenever he is hungry, first breast feed him for ten minutes. If he stops sucking , manually express breast milk and give him with spoon. If milk is not sufficient, give lactogen prepared in proper dilution and with sterile precautions, with spoon only. This requires patience. But you have no choice. Otherwise he will be on bottle only- which be a source of all problems in future.BREAST IS BEST.
