A. Hello dear parent! Can be due to colic pain, teething, tummy discomfort, improper flow of breastmilk. Check for the symptoms and consult your child’s doctor accordingly. Latch the baby well to your breast while breastfeeding. Burp the baby after every feed. Gently press your child’s gums with a soft cotton cloth dipped in cold water to reduce teething discomfort. Follow your doctor’s instructions.
