Father of a 4 yr 5 m old boy4 years ago
Q.

My son is very active & soon will be 5 month old. The prob is that he is not feeding milk properly since 4 days. Due to extreme summer days we also started feeding drops of water boiled with a bit of saunf, salt & sugar. Is that causing issue? Also he started sucking his fingers thumb too much since 1 month, is that something causing stomach problem? As we are unable to understand why he is not feeding properly now.

A. please don't give such water to ur baby, it's actually nit needed. breast refusal and putting fingers or hands in mouth is very common around this age .. If you can bf as much as possible and express after feed and try to feed with spoon. You can also dream feed your baby
