If the baby is comfortable for atleast 2 hrs after the feed and good weight gain and healthy otherwise, then no worry. But we need to look at oral cavity for any thrush, ulcers or throat congestion also.

Next Steps

If any of the symptoms , consult pediatrician.

Health Tips

Give exclusive mother feed during initial 6 months. Sometimes bottle feed can cause Nipple confusion and feeding difficulties.

It is pretty normal.Try only exclusive Breast feeding during first 6 moths of life.Try to feed the baby more during night as it helps to increase milk production due effect of prolactin. Baby shoul feed at least 8-10 times a day
