Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
If the baby can sometimes suckle the mother's nipple, it is best to use a feeding aid and feed the baby vigorously for a few days while holding them close. This is the most effective way to increase milk supply. If the baby is uncooperative, the mother should try to nurse as much as possible while frequently using a breast pump. Then, the milk expressed by the breast pump can be supplemented to the baby through the feeding aid.
