A. Hello mom check for the milk flow at time if they aren’t able to latch or a nipple issue or they’re aren’t able to have the milk flow as per their speed this problem could be arise

A. Even my baby has same issue. The flow will be varying so he may be feeling difficulty at times to drink. try removing some milk initially before feeding if flow is high. give him in gap more than 2hours as he is four months old, he shd be taking milk at a time more and will take feed only when he is really hungry. please comment if this works.

A. Hello dear parent! Check if your baby id having any latching issues or teething. Continue feeding your baby well on demand. Keep Babyhug stainless steel feeder handy. Consult your doctor for evaluation and advice. Good luck and take care
