A. spoon feed. see kids learn fast but don't burden them. that confuses n scares them ok. try to go slow and let child grow at his own pace for that is healthy way if growth for her comprehensive development.

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please buy Phillips avent natural feeding bottles. The nipples of these bottles are similar to the breast nipples. So baby will suck it. Please massage baby stomach clockwise and anti-clockwise. You can also apply hing water on baby stomach. Also do some cycling leg exercises of the baby to relieve from constipation and gas. Please make the baby burp after every feed. Mother should chew saunf and ajwain after every meal. Thanks and take care
