Newborn nanpro dependency
Hi Dr.
Our newborn baby girl(4 days old) is not sucking breast milk and sleeps when on mothers breast.
Nan pro is being given as top feed, most of the day.
How safe is this in long run, as baby cries if we give only mother breast feed as currently secretion is less.

Breast milk Secretions increase as per the demand of the baby
If top feed is given to the baby,baby develops nipple confusion,taste confusion and hence more decrease in interest in breastfeeding

Dear parents,
Milk is produced only on demand=sucking.
If you satisfied the kid by top milk that also without effort why he will suck. Without demands no milk ,&baby is devoid of amrit. Hold the baby in one arm keeping his head at elbow joint and the buttocks in the palm of same arm and feed the baby for 15to20minutes I.
Hold the outer palm of baby in between the thumb and index finger and press the palm when ever baby sleep or stop feeding.
More details consult me on practo app.
