A. hello mommy giving water in any form to a child less than 6 month of age is not recommended a 4 month old baby's milk requirement should be 80 to 120 ml per feed, please review ur dilution proportion of formula powder and water, and try to give massage to the baby , cycling movement is good for them while on supine, try to encourage the baby to feed, after consumption of 30 ml, burp the baby, give some rest and again introduce the feed, some baby gets tired easily and get asleep, 4month old would develop some tantrums, try to distract the baby and again give feed, give plenty of tummy time and see for some days if doesn't work please consult with your paediatrician. As a mother and doctor I'll not suggest you to give your baby ajwain or saunf water, please avoid such things as per now thank you
