Q.

My daughter is not drinking breastmilk properly since she has been 5 months old. She drinks it for 5 minutes and then leaves it and then after 10 minutes demands milk and keeps crying. She is very irritable and does not sleep properly. I feel that she does not get satisfied. What should I do?

A. Namaste Mom, Make sure you are actively feeding the baby , so maintain eye contact, sing, talk to them , so that baby isnt distracted , massage your breast well so that the flow is well also as per the age now you can introduce the baby to weaning foods were in you can start with liquid consistency foods

A. Hello my dear parent! It might be because of teething or colic pain. Use Babyhug teethers for your baby. Gently press your child’s gums with a sift cotton cloth dipped in cold water to reduce teething symptoms. Good luck and take care
