@Oseni18819, you are welcome dear

Oseni Damilola · Answer

Wow!!! Thank you so much doc

Dr Catherine Makwe · Answer

@Oseni18819, OK dear. That's a sore nipple, this is because most often the baby is nipple feeding rather the breast feeding. Your baby's jaw is on your nipple almost all the time and he will more likely suck less milk. The areola ( the dark skin surrounding your nipple) is the temporary storage site. Your baby's jaw should on that instead of the nipple.

Dr Catherine Makwe · Answer

@Sotonye23336, kindly read my post on suckling. If the suckling isn't strong enough, no matter how many pap you take nothing happens. I will strong advice your older baby or husband to suckle. They have more strength to suckle than your young baby.

Doctor I give my baby breast to suckle everyday but still no milk is coming out i take pap and oats all d time and drink water so what do I do again

Dr Catherine Makwe · Answer

@sindi, babies are trainable and they can gradually develop habits. So you can make sure he suckle fully in one breast before sleep.

Dr Catherine Makwe · Answer

@patzee, chat me up dear. So we can discuss more

Dr Catherine Makwe · Answer

@olaogun, the suckling mechanism is important to produce more milk. So you can ask your partner/husband for some assistance. He has more suction strength than the baby.
