<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi I got mad at my baby while nursing tonight, as since her cold last xmas, she won t open her mouth as wide to nurse. I put my thumb and finger inside her mouth and pushed it open. She started to cry like it hurt, but stopped after a min or so. Should i be worried? She did nurse a bit afterwards and went to sleep, and did not seem in pain.  <response>: Hello, I completely understand your concern regarding your baby. It is a very common problem that many mothers undergo. Try feeding the baby in a semi-reclining position with baby on your chest. Hand expression during this time will also help and build up your milk supply. Check if the baby has coldcough with the pediatrician as that might hamper the child from latching comfortably. Hope it gets better soon. Take care
