A. Hi, make sure the room is ventilated. Use thin soft cotton clothes. Also make sure the blanket is also thin and cotton. Avoid thick blankets. Exclusively breastfeed and burp your baby well and then put the baby back to sleep. Massage on the stomach clockwise and anticlockwise with coconut oil for a couple of time.Write Your Answer Here
