Don't loose your patience and offer her breast feeding frequently called demand feed ie as and when baby cries put whole areola ie dark portion around nipple into her mouth and slowly press the milk into her mouth. After one week she will have strong sucking then no need to push milk. Offer one breast at a time till it empties fully and second breast for next feed like this she will get best qwaliti and quantity of milk.
