A. Hi, give lukewarm water while feeding anything or after feeding anything. Include buttermilk in every day drink which helps in improving good intestinal bacteria. Give banana for morning snacks. Give more fibre and calcium rich food. Instead of three big meals plan to give five meals in a day with a gap of four hours between each solid feed. In between that you can give liquids like buttermilk, water, coconut water, fresh fruit juice, milk shakes. Avoid wheat and Maida for a couple of days. Take a little coconut oil and massage on baby stomach clockwise and anticlockwise for a couple of times.Write Your Answer Here
