A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please make sure that the baby is in a correct position to latch to the breast properly. Please massage your breast gently before feeding the baby. Please check for any oral thrush in the Baby and clean it if it is there. Also, also check for any nasal blockage in the baby, which might be preventing the baby to suck the milk. Thanks and take care

A. It is important that you feed milk to your child every two hours. You can give your child Dexolac Stage 1 this formula milk which gives him full nutrition. It contains 36 nutrients and phosphorus fibre which helps in growth.
