My baby is 2 month old. He has started to suck the mittens though I feed him well, if i remove his hand from the mouth, he cries a lot and be fussy all the time. From past two days he is being very fussy. If we hold him in hands, he will be silent. The moment we make him sleep on cot, he cries. Please suggest me what can I do to make him comfortable and peaceful.
