Hi. My baby is 20 days old. Since he was 7 day old he started crying as he wasn't getting enough feed and he wasn't able to latch properly due to which my nipples started to bleed, so I started with inmil formula feed. Now as I got treated and there's a relief from pain, I wanted to restart breastfeeding but am unable to produce enough milk that baby needs. So what can I do now, how to increase breast milk production and if I start directly to lactate, baby won't get enough milk and he will start crying. please give a valuable advice on this.

Once baby moves to top feeds it is very difficult to get back on breast milk for various reasons. Only way is to go on trying and taking care of nutrition as required as suggested by paediatrician
