A. you have to give only demand feeding to the child that is whenever the child feels hungry you can give milk to the child and the child will take the milk according to the need and then will leave the milk. if the child is taking more milk you can offer milk in more quantity with intermittent burping . there is no need to to go for fixed feeding pattern. also there is no need to wake up the child from sleep if the weight of the child is within normal limits . also if the weight gain of the child every month is normal then no need to worry regarding the pattern of breastfeeding for small children less than 6 months of age it is very important to take proper care during the summer season. you have to give milk at frequent intervals to keep the child while hydrated and proper urine output has to be maintained at the same time you should cover the child with cotton clothes and see that the child doesn't become to hot and try to give the child as long as possible indoors during the harsh sunlight when going outside you can use caps for the child i
