A. very important to see that position and attachment while breastfeeding the child is proper. if improper the child will continue to suck for long hrs without getting any milk meet lactational counsellor who will guide regardingf this. see videos on you tube for breastfeeding position and attachment. take plenty of waterc, home made diet, seasonal fruits and vegetables, milk for increasing breast milk for yourself. take 15 to 30 days weight and growth assessment by the doctor.

A. Teething we have started to happen as these things can happen any time after completing the time of three months in general but in some cases it can be early probably which is why your child is irritated keeping the finger into the mouth most of the times I’m just going to recommend you to kindly check the gums of your child if you see swelling over there then that’s probably the reason
