A. hi your baby is 22 months old now you need to see if she latches well and is comfortable in position while feeding to avoid baby getting tired and sleeping midway.also tickling on soles and stimulating back spine helps

A. This is very normal in the kids especially in the newborns they get tired and so went to sleep and whenever they wake up they again want to milk instantly so you must try giving Milk by waking your child a little bit or am tickling him so that he may get a week and complete his feed if not so this will only get better with the growing ageWrite Your Answer Here
