A. avoid cold climate, cold winds. give plenty of feeds , adequate rest to the baby. indirect steam , hot water bath will also help. consult your paediatrician if baby is feeding less, excessively drowsy or if cold increases. post illness babies might be cranky , irritable. nose block congestion also result in loss of appetite, difficult sucking. try different head up feeding position. feed by spoon otherwise. Maintain hygiene. if bottle feeding, maintain sterility as its a common source of infections.

A. Hi, make sure to breastfeed once in every two hours and burp your baby well after every feed. Check the urine count baby should pass urine 6 to 8 times in a day. If the urine count is normal then nothing to worry about the motion. Usually newborn babies will pass motion once in three days or sometimes once in five days. Since baby will be on completely breastfeed the liquid is absorbed by the body and it will help in body growth. If the urine count is less than six times in a day then you need to check with your paediatrician for top feed. Take a little coconut oil and massage on baby stomach clockwise and anticlockwise for couple of time repeat this every day. Do cyclic leg exercise. And do tummy time all this will help in reducing gas problem.Write Your Answer Here
