You baby is growing well Sir, becoming socially aware and responding to it so don't worry
Next Steps
Since they are easily distracted, it is advisable to feed baby in isolation and silence leaving baby and mother undisturbed for that time. Otherwise if not possible baby would demand for feeds as per his hunger.
Health Tips
Continue with only Breastfeeding for next 3months, and keep giving the Vitamin D supplement as advised
