hi.. my sister had the same problem. now her daughter has low immunity. pls pump ur milk and feed only milk even if she is not trying to latch. one should make the baby to latch the breast immediately after birth or atleast a day later. otherwise they dont catch the breast later and habituated to bottle or spoon feed. this is what my nurse said.

Hi Ridhima.. I also had problem in my initial days my baby was not latching me.. we tried nipple shield so to make her latch... although that's not a good option I feel personally because those need to be sterilized every time and they are of plastic as well which is not good for babies.. so as suggested please try half feeding with bowl n spoon and then try to latch.. initially he will resist but more u try, then he will understand that he will get food in that manner only... it will take some time but it will work... meanwhile please take care of weight gain and pee times.. hope it helps...
