Some health problems in babies can make it harder for them to breastfeed. But breast-milk provides the healthy start your baby needs, even more so if your baby is premature or sick. Even if your baby cannot breastfeed directly from you, you can express or pump your milk and give it to your baby with a dropper, spoon, or cup.
Some common health problems in babies are listed below.
- Jaundice
- Reflux disease
- Premature and/or low birth weight
- Colic
