A. Hi, firstly you need to check the report with paediatrician. Expose your baby to sunlight in the early morning like around 730 to 8 o’clock. Make sure to expose the baby and the baby gets the sunlight every day. It will help to get the count to normal. And also exclusively breastfeed once in every two hours which is very important for baby at this age.Write Your Answer Here
