A. Yea Do not feed your child till the time your child is not demanding for it because certain times due to issues like colic pain and all also you may see that the child is not interested in taking a feed so first you try to understand what is your child is facing and then if your child is having stomach pain or something when you give a medicine accordingly and then if you will feed the child the child will definitely take a feed
