A. well she may be iron deficient ok. you can show the baby to a pediatric doctor who will check and find the right diagnosis and treat wellIn such cases you can talk to a doctor and get some blood tests done to reach to a conclusion

A. Hello mom Baby will take whatever baby gets so you have to be careful about it. Because it is not good at all. You should make babies surroundings clean and maintain proper hygiene as much as you can. As you mention that it is already five times so you have to be more careful about it Happy parenting Stay home stay safe
