Dear parents,
According to me hold the baby in one arm keeping his head at elbow joint and the buttocks in the palm trees and the buttocks in the palm of same arm and feed the baby for 15to20minutes.
Hold the outer palm of baby in between the thumb and index finger and press the palm when ever baby sleep or stop feeding.
After feeding put the baby on left shoulder and pat just behind stomach level for 5mintues to burpe on back of the baby.
Baby burp 3to5times.
After burping lay down the baby onright side of the baby putting a pillow below head maintaining that head is above level of stomach.
Drink lots of water before breastfeeding and during breast feeding
