Breastfeeding
Hi doctor,
I have delivered a baby girl on 17th Oct by c-section. Due to some health issue I was unable to breastfeed my baby for 25 days. She was given formula milk. Now she is habituated with that. I am trying to breastfeed her but she refuses and starts crying. And my milk supply is also very low as she is not sucking. What can I do ? I want to feed her only breastmilk.
