Each breast feeding should be followed by burping for 20 minutes. Stop zinc syp after 14 days. If child is cranky it can be due to abdominal colic, for that you can 2 drops of colic aid as and when required. Syp arbivit d3 0.5 ml once a day needs to be given till 6 months of age as mother's milk is deficient in vit d3. Thank you.
