Hi my baby was born on 18 may 2017. After 1 week of his birth we are giving him formula due to my short nipples. And he started drink milk with bottle. And I use to store my milk in bottle with the help of breast pump and giving to my son. But after one month m trying to provide him breast feeding with nipples but he iz not following my breast feeding. Beoz I want him to follow breast feeding instead of bottle feeding and breast pump. I am very worried what should I do.

Babies are born ?hard-wired? to breastfeed Consider giving your baby lots of skin-to-skin time, when you are topless and baby is just wearing a diaper. Get in a comfortable reclining position, put baby tummy-down on your chest, and relax. Your baby may just latch on with little help from you. If she doesn?t, watch for these progressive signs that she?s ?on her way:? she tries to root, turning towards the nipple; she licks the nipple; she opens her mouth and briefly takes the nipple; and she holds the nipple in her mouth but doesn?t suck. (It may take her several days to get from the first to the last of those signs.) If you squeeze your breast gently at this point, she will get a squirt of milk and that might encourage her to swallow and start sucking. Be patient and keep trying.

Give expressed breast milk with spoon not by bottle. There is no need of formula milk. Expressed milk can be stored in the back of refrigerator. Try to feed baby on breast, if not succeed, consult your obstetrician.
