I have done c section before 2 months (jan 13. I had some initial problem in breast feeding like low milk supply and flat nipples. Due to which my baby unable to suck directly hence we have introduced formula milk as per doctor's advice. Till now he is more dependent on bottle feeding and I am using breast pump to take out my milk. I have tried lot to make him direct feed now. But he is not sucking. Please help me. Is there any solution (tried nipple shield also)

Once a woman allows top feeds it is extremely difficult for baby to switch from that to breast feeds. Only way is to give breast feed only and if does not take not to give top feed so after couple of days of crying hunger forces baby to latch to breast feeds.
