Accepted Answer

Hi, you need to feed the baby once in every two hours. You should follow this until the baby completes 4 to 5 months. After that they will gradually start sleeping for a stretch of four hours. Since your baby is newborn they will be sleeping  during day time and they gradually start sleeping during night time. Whenever the baby sleeps try to sleep with the baby and take rest. Have five meals in a day in smaller interval and in smaller quantities. Do not give a gap and be hunger. Take adequate liquid. Always be relaxed. Take a little coconut oil and massage on baby stomach clockwise and anticlockwise this will help in reducing babies colic pain. Yes the babies will cry a lot because of colic pain which is common in Newborn babies. You can also check medicine for colic pain with your paediatrician. Always rest back and feed your baby and use a feeding pillow to feed your baby which will not give much pressure on your tummy.
