You need to identify the hunger cue of the baby. If you feed after identifying the hunger cue baby will take the breastfeed normally. but if the hunger cue is ignored baby becomes irritable then feeding becomes difficult. So identify the cues and let the baby take the feed as much he/she wants.
Next Steps
If symptoms persist, you need to personally contact a doctor to rule out infection.
Health Tips
if baby lethargic, has high fever, not passing urine. Visit pediatrician immediately
