Hi! How old is baby ? Few babies gets easily distracted to sound, light etc, avoid anything that distracts the child. If baby is active, sleeping after feeds, gaining adequate weight nothing to worry. Direct breast feeding is the best

How old is your baby? Is the baby gaining adequate weight?
Next Steps
Avoid bottle and formula feeds, not good for the baby. Feed every 2 Nd hrly if it is a newborn baby. Baby suck and go to sleep, so wake the baby frequently and feed for 30- 40 min.
