Breast feeding: Each baby is different and if you already introduced him to a bottle, you may have difficulty getting him 2 latch to the breast. But dont fret, keep trying. Sometimes if ur breasts are engorged, you may need2 hop into a warm shower before u nurse so the milk flows easily and baby does nto get frustrated. Once he tastes the milk, he will want2 suck.Breast feeding progr. Rn at the hospital may help.
