question
My son is prematurely born and is of 23 days today. He can't latch properly but has started taking bottle feed. People say that if I don't feed him the breast milk directly then he would get habituated to bottle and would never take breast milk directly. Is that true?

Due to c-section and flat nipple my baby didnt get my milk. She was fed formula milk and sometime i pumped. For first 30 days i struggled hard to make my baby latch. She used to cry whenever i use to take her to breast, it happened due to nipple confusion. Skin to.skin touch and nipple shield helped to take my baby back to.breast and now i exclusively breast feeding my baby. And touchwood she is achieving all her milestones. So dont give up. Give your baby skin touch. Let him rest on your breast. Dont keep him hungry but before every feed try to.bring your baby to.the breast. Feed your baby with spoon no to bottle.

Yes it is true, give breast to your baby to feed even if can't latch. Help him to latch by holding ur nipple with areola area and putting in his mouth. Keep trying all the <u>best</u>
