A. Hi, Have a glass of water before feeding your baby and have a glass of water after feeding your baby. Take more fibre rich food. Take a little coconut oil and massage on baby stomach clockwise and anticlockwise for couple of time repeat this every day. Do cyclic leg exercise. And do tummy time. Burp your baby well after every feed which is very important.Write Your Answer Here
