Dear parents, Hold the baby in one arm keeping his head at elbow joint and the buttocks in the palm of same arm and feed the baby for 15to20minutes. Hold the outer palm of baby in between the thumb and index finger and press the palm when ever baby sleep or stop feeding. Increase in weight is only criteria, mother's milk is adequate or not.
