Hold the baby's chin downwards to help with a deep latch. You can express milk and feed with a vati and spoon. The quantity of milk will carry with each feed hence best to let the baby decide.

Nasreen...its ok to express n give. that will help in supply. Also feed on demand. When baby stops you stop.
