Q. #asktheexpert Hi my 5 month old is neither taking proper nap as he used to nor proper feeding. Every time when I try to breastfeed him he only latches for 2-3 minutes and is done. He used to take 4-5 naps a day varying from 1-2 hours but since a few days he is only taking 2-3 naps (one nap of 1 hour and rest 15 min- max 30 min). I am worried about his health his weight is 7kg.
