A. try to avoid the disturbances to which the baby is distracting.position of baby while feeding is also important.don't feed the baby forcibly.after feeding let baby play .later again you can feed for small duration only.

A. try feeding him alone in the room without any disturbance and slightly dim light... 5 to 10 minutes is sufficient if baby is active.. but try breastfeeding after 1 and half to 2 hours...

A. Hello mom Some babies don’t take sufficient milk in one take in such cases you have to feed your baby in less time gap. If your baby is taking feed just for 5 to 10 minutes then you have to feed your baby in a gap of 45 minutes again. You can start giving solids and water only once you baby turned six months old
