After delivery, I started to breastfeed my baby and it continued for two weeks. however, after that i started to support my baby with bottle milk because i felt that my milk is not enough for her. as a result, she got used to the bottle and refused breastfeeding . every time I try with her she cries a lot. Now, i hardly have any milk and my baby is totally dependent on bottle milk. thanx dia a

Hello,
welcome to healthcaremagic forum.
Once a baby gets used to bottle feed, she will automatically start refusing breast feeding as it needs a good effort of sucking by the baby. Now after one and a half months of bottle feed, it is really difficult to re establish it.
