A. Hi dear Try to feed for longer duration. 15-20 mins each breast. This way baby will get balanced foremilk and hind milk. Foremilk comes in the beginning for 5-10 mins then comes the hind milk which is rich in fats and can help baby gain weight. So always empty a breast each. colic is the reason and baby cries in stomach ache. If your breastfeeding you should avoid having chocolate, spices, citrus fruits and their juices, like oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit,strawberries kiwifruit, pineapple, and other gassy foods.like cauliflower, cabbage, these foods may trigger your babys tummy alos there is a herbal medicine for colic that is available in herbal store. It's called as sweet flag or vasambu it'svery good for colic, digestion, immunity booster. It should be mixed with milk and consumed everyday. It's good immunity booster too that can be given to babies everyday for colic or stomach realted issues. For the making you can see videos in YouTube try these too it ll help alot.
