A. Hi parent The reason of his withdrawal of feeding is not known. You may massage her with coconut oil daily with her stomach empty Take sunbath daily with her head and ears covered. If she has colic (what is common at her age ) ,you may give her anti colic drops or use Hing roll Burp her well if you have nipple issue you may use nipple shield Keep offering her the BM , she will take it Make.sure your BM is apt for her Improve your BM supply by leptadene course (twice a day with glass of milk daily for four weeks)
