I Have Feeding Problem,please Advise
My fifty day old child has a feeding problem.She had refused the breast during her first few days and since she had neo-natal jaundice we were forced to bottle feed the baby. Last 2 weeks she has been refusing the bottle and is always crying. Pl. advise.

ur baby may be crying due to infantile cloic, common cold, earache, but more probably due to infantile colic. are u give burping to ur baby after every feed. in bottle feed baby nore chance of aerophagia & more chance of infantile colic. to prevent this keep bottle vertically during feeding & remove bottle whenever slightly milk remain in it & the hole of nipple not much small or not much large. start burping practice after each feed.
apply heeng (assafoitida) paste on abdomen. give drop xymex 5 drops 2-3 times daily for 15 days. breast feeding is best for baby & mother. try it . if baby not accept than give feed by spoon.
