breastfeeding

It’s normal. Newborn babies are very sleepy. Maybe you can try massaging your breast and hand express a bit of milk before you latch him. That might entice him to suck. You may need to check how you hold him and position properly so that he can latch well. You can also consider getting a nursing pillow or use a pillow when you feed him, to support him to reach your breast level. Do remember to monitor that he is peeing and pooing enough which means he is taking in enough milk. If he still doesn’t suck well, you can try consulting a lactation consultation to check if he has a tongue tie. Don’t worry! Just keep trying. Don’t give up.
