Hi all. I have a 5 day old baby girl. till now,I haven't been able to successfully breastfeed her. doc said my nipples are small so....having the following problems:
1. I tried using nipple shield. it worked twice but now she isn't taking milk through that as well.
2. I have started using pump to express milk since I really want her to have only breast milk. but since yesterday,her appetite has increased and I am.unable to produce enough milk to fulfill her demand.
will be grateful if someone can help me on these issues.

I have faced the same issue 2 weeks back.. u will get nipple puller in pigeon.. try to pull out nipples.. for every 2 hrs try to feed her directly or with nipple shield.. to increase milk.. have a glass of milk 3 times a day.. take bread , rusks, jeera water, barley water, soups etc to improve milk.. stay strong.. I have tried these and now I am able to give milk to my little one.. all the best..
