A. Hello mum you need to check first of all that your milk supply should be proper it should not be very high or very low your feeding position should be comfortable and other things which are making baby uncomfortable can be maybe the gas problem or if baby is rubbing the ear again and again or this can be because of the nose blockage as well so you need to consult with your doctor or take help of the lactation expert

Q. My baby is 3.5 months old. He is on breastfeed. But now he refuses to feed through breast. If he is completely hungry than only he demands and it takes around three hours to demand. Whenever i try to feed him after every 2 hours than he doesn’t latch and cry too much and refuses to latch. I feel that his demand for milk is reducing. He drinks from one breast only and i even need to change the side, he completes feed from one side only and takes around 3-4 mins. I am quite worried about his diet. Kindly help.
