A. Hello mom when breast feeding exclusively it’s always better to feed on demand .. and when ever you feed her make sure she is away from any kind of distraction as such . And also while feeding talk to the baby and maintain an eye contact , or sing for him so that he feed well

A. hi, I was also facing the same. so whenever you feed your baby try to sit in room with no distraction, see if baby position is correct. or if baby is cranky let her sleep and try to feed her when she is about to sleep. make sure you burp her after feed. it worked for me.
