A. Hi mommy Give adequate feeding Burp well after every feeding Try to keep head up position while feeding Do tummy time and cycling movement of legs to relieve gas and constipation Wash hands often before touching your baby Maintain hydration Maintain hygiene

A. How can I tell if my newborn is getting enough milk? Your baby is feeding at least eight to 12 times in 24 hours . ...Breastfeeding feels comfortable and pain-free. ...Your breasts feel softer and less full after feeds .Your nipple looks the same shape after you've fed your baby, not squashed, pinched, or white.
