A. Keep a check when the baby is slowly stopping to suck. Put ur clean finger inside the sides of his mouth, so that when he stops feeding he will bite ur finger rather than the nipple which will be more painful. Also don't pull out his mouth immediately if in case he bites which will inturn cause sore nipples and much pain. You can get some nipple care cream prescribed from ur doctor to soothe the pain. Try giving ur baby finger foods (without choking hazard and you are sure ur baby can chew well and eat) which ur baby can feed on their own . Don't worry about the mess. Some babies don't like to eat until they explore the food themselves. Also try to change the routine menu and introduce new recipes following the two day gap rule. Use different colored plates in different shapes and different types of spoons in different colours to get ur child's attention.
