Pediatrician,  's  Response
I face similar complaints almost all days. New mothers feeling breast milk is not sufficient is usually from lack of knowledge. If the baby cries always it is not for milk,but a wet napkin or gas not burped well, all cause babies cry. If there is weight gain 30- 50 grams per day there's enough milk. THis implies the need for well baby checkup monthly. THe complains of not passing motion is the result of giving Naan that too with a bottle, I presume. I suggest you give only breast milk and if you must give formula give it after breast feed and with spoon from cup and stop bottle forthwith. When giving formula you must give small amounts of boiled water with spoon in between where as additional water is not needed in breast fed child. Also do neonatal thyroid screening by doing TSH test.Please follow my advice and get back to me. Happy parenting !!!
