Latching problem
My daughter is 15days old, initially due to bad latch it was difficult for me to breastfeed her due to soreness, she was given expressed milk through funnel cup, since then she has refused to latch and I have to pump milk and bottle feed her. Even after trying for latching she just scream and doesn't latch. What should I do.

Nipple syringing may help
Once the nipple touches the upper palate, child will be able to suck properly

May be your technique is wrong, just go to birth hospital of baby, they will explain position and attachment, if baby’s sucking is normal then give expressed milk
Complete areola should be in baby’s mouth, abdomen should touch your abdomen, if position os normal then attachment might be not correct technique
So once go for latching attachment
Health Tips
Might give expressed breast milk by katori spoon
Night feeding is must
Feed in semi inclined position not in lying position
