A. Hello dear parent! Maintain a good personal hygiene for your baby. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Clarify all your concerns and follow your doctor’s advice diligently. Good luck and take care.
