Polio drops are given at any hospital in Bangalore with available pediatric services. If the baby is crying when she's hungry , it's a late sign. Baby may be too upset to feed then. Catch the early hunger cues like baby turning her head towards your chest , sucking movements of the lips or baby bringing her hands towards her mouth. As soon as you see these signs breastfeed your baby. Also feed your baby at one breast for atleast 25-30 mins and then move to the other breast so that she receives the energy dense hindmilk as well. After you breastfeed, try to express remaining milk and feed the baby with katori/spoon. Check for adequacy of breast milk. Baby should be gaining weight on regular basis, having 5-6 wet nappies and 3-4 stools during the day. If not, then discuss with your pediatrician again for supplementing baby with formula as advised by him.
