A. hi your baby is 3 months old now if the size of nipple is too large for baby or if nipple is inverted or flat then you need to use a nipple shield and if milk secretion is inadequate go for formula milk

A. Hi mom Squeeze your nipple frequently Try to keep head up position while feeding Give adequate feeding Burp well after every feeding Do tummy time and cycling movement of legs to relieve gas and constipation Try to keep head up position while feeding Give adequate feeding Apply eucalyptus oil on baby’s pillow
