Let your obstetrician or lady pediatrician see whether you have retracted nipples .
Put the baby on your breast in a comfortable position,,let him root for the nipple .
You can find some help in the net or hands on from some elders in the family or even your delivery doctor or nurse can show you the proper way to feed.

Hi, 5 days period is too early to put on formula. Keep trying for breast feeds. Let your obstetrician or lady pediatrician see whether you have retracted nipples . Put the baby on your breast in a comfortable position,,let him root for the nipple . You can find some help in the net or hands on from some elders in the family or even your delivery doctor or nurse can show you the proper way to feed. But don t give up so soon! God bless Dr Uma
