A. hello mum this up and down can be normally seen in every newborn baby so you just have to observe whether child is having any kind of health issue like cold cough nose blockage chest congestion or gas problem otherwise you should also check your milk supply should not be very high your very low and another fact is babies take some time to set a routine as well

Q. my baby is one month old. During day time she hardly drinks milk for 5-7 min and falls asleep but at night specially between 3-6 am she latches for hours and sleeps max for 30-40 min. After 30 min she again wants milk for 30-45 min. is this behaviour normal? because at night she drinks milk continuously but during day time even drinking for 5-7 min is enough to put her to sleep for minimum 2 hours. also, how can I change it?

Q. My baby turns 2 months on 12th DECEMBER. I am worried that he is not drinking the milk during the night time for past 3 days. I am feeding him at 10PM and putting him to sleep. He rarely wakes up around 2AM and drinks milk for 2 to 5 mins, falling asleep again. Even if i try to wake him up and force feed, he drinks for 1 more min and falls asleep. If i force him more, he starts to cry. So, he properly drinks milk only 5 times a day. Is this normal?
