A. Hello dear parent! Do not offer to breastfeed your baby immediately on demand. Try to soothe your child back to sleep or divert the attention. Take the help of your family or spouse. Serve healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating. Good luck and take care.
