Yes, it is perfectly okay to start breastfeeding again once your baby is a little older, around 2 months old, even if you have been giving breast milk through a bottle. It's common for new mothers to face challenges with breastfeeding, especially in the early stages when both you and your baby are still learning. To help improve the latch and reduce nipple soreness, you can try different breastfeeding positions to find one that is comfortable for both you and your baby. Ensuring that your baby's mouth is wide open before latching can also help with getting a better latch. Additionally, seeking support from a lactation consultant or a breastfeeding support group can provide you with personalized advice and assistance. Remember to be patient with yourself and your baby as you both adjust to breastfeeding. It's a learning process for both of you, and with time and practice, you can improve the latch and make breastfeeding a more comfortable experience for you and your baby. If you continue to have difficulties with breastfeeding, don't hesitate to reach out to a lactation consultant for further guidance and support. They can provide you with expert advice tailored to your specific situation. https://invl.io/cll6she
