A. Dear Mother you do not get panic or disturb it is the not because your child is underweight but every normal child also that is a newborn forces sleep after every other five minutes this is from personal experience as I also have a underweight a child and it was little difficult to manage for the first 40 days but if you stay hydrated eat healthy take proper rest you will be able to give a proper care to your little one feed him after a regular interval we came up by tickling or pinching or sometimes waking him up somehow so that he can finish his milk after that burping is also very importantWrite Your Answer Here
