Q. #asktheexpert Hi Madam, My girl baby is 3 months old. Her weight is 5kgs. since birth,she drinks very less milk. she falls asleep after drinking small amount of milk. At max she drinks 60ml per feed and around 8 feeds per day. if we made her forcefully drink, she vomits, resists and cries. Altogether she drinks 300 to 400ml milk per day. I feel this milk quantity is very less and am worried about her growth. visited doctor for the same, He suggested cypon drops for 3 days twice a day. after using that also didnt see much change. kindly suggest how to increase her milk intake. Thanks.
