My baby is 5 months old. She isn’t taking proper feed. After 5 mins feed she starts playing. This leads her to demand feed for every half an hour or one hour. Sometimes I just feel restless. What can be done to help her feed properly so that even I can have some rest.

A. I would recommend you to try to make sure that your feeding the baby after a long gap that weighs the child would be more hungry and would be able to feed for a longer duration thereby reducing the frequency
