#AskTheExpert hello sir, baby is 1mnth old but still its not settling down. please suggest for it.

A. What kind of problem u r facing? If it's feeding, Babies have very small tummies. So at a time they can hold only a small amount of feed. So their feeding pattern will be like less amount of milk at more frequent intervals like every two hours. This will gradually increase as the baby grows older. After few months they will feed more at one go and the time gap between feeds will also increase. Your baby will generally know how much he or she wants and turn away from the breast or show some resistance which u should note and stop feeding. Follow baby's lead. After feeds burp the baby well. If the baby had over feeding then he or she may spit up or vomit which can indicate you that the baby is taking more than needed milk. On an average your baby should be peeing anywhere between six to ten times a day which means the baby is taking feeds properly. Babies can be crying for many reasons like when they want to sleep, when they are hungry or tired, when they feel insecure and need some comfort or when there is a stomach pain or reflux or due to colic pain or when their clothes get wet due to frequent peeing or when they struggle to poop or pass gas or have cold or other illness that's bothering them. You can try to identify which is bothering ur baby and act accordingly
