I know it s not my milk cuz when i pump she drinks it from the bottle. can you please help me. Also she has no allergies and is a healthy baby.

dear parent, some babies have a hard time getting used from suckling from the breast. you need to offer her breast feeding before she even starts to cry. you should squeeze your breast so that the nipple will be covered with milk and then offer her to suckle. you need to calm Down and be very patient. babies can feel if the mother is anxious and this makes them more irritable. the babies suckling from the breast is very important for the milk production to continue
