Baby being Fussy -Feeding
My baby who is 3weeks old is being breast fed. She will be ok in the nights and early mornings. But sometimes mostly the second half of the day, she will never stop crying and fussy over being fed. She does not seem satisfied even after long feeding sessions. She was 3.7kg at birth, last week was 3.4kg. I don't see any gain since then. Is this a digestion problem or hunger problem or something else? Please help

it seems to be a colicky pain
just give proper burp after each and every feed
if baby is having exessive cry then give
colic aid drops 5 drops
u can give 3 times a day max.
ur babys weight gain is also not proper
just give breast feed + top feed also if baby is hungry
baby should pass 8-10 times urine/24 hrly
if not then cry is bcz of inadequate feed (feeding problem )
Next Steps
if baby is having any associated issues like running nose, breathing difficulty, fever then consult ur nearest pediatrician thank you.
