Dear parents,
All babies are born with rooting and sucking reflex and this remains for 4 months
Rooting reflex=Baby turn his mouth if any thing is touch around his mouth for search of nipple.
May be you have Given feed. That doesn't mean he is hungry.
Sucking reflex=if any thing touch his palate he started sucking.
So just Feed Baby every 2hrlyin day and from 10pm to 6am on demand.
After feeding put the Baby on left shoulder and pat just behind the stomach for 5 minutes.
Baby burps 3to5 Times.
