1.Not properly sucking :
Positioning while feeding is important.
Proper latching and good Positioning will help your baby to suck well.
Also look for nasal block if any please clean the nose periodically.
2.Whether my baby's stomach is full or not ?
If baby is gaining weight, passing urine more than 6-8 times and pooping properly - Then your feeding is adequate.
3.Not Burping at all ?
Please do it little more time than your usual time.
Health Tips
Smart sleeping is important (Try to sleep along with the baby) So that you can manage without exhaustion.
