<human>: 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.
<bot>: Ur baby may be crying due to infantile colic, common cold, earache, but more probably due to infantile colic. Are u give burping to your baby after every feed. In bottle-feed baby more chance of aerophobia & 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 been (assafoitida) paste on abdomen. Give Chat Doctor.
