Dear mother Continue giving breast feed its always difficult for the babies for few days but if you will start lactogen then it will be difficult to restart Breastfeed.if the child is unable to take feed then take out your feed and give with spoon. It will help in keeping your breast milk to be there Don't give top feed Mothers milk is the best for the baby All the best
