Child not sleeping well
Hi. My child is 7 weeks old and facing Delhi summers for the first time Since last 2-3 days he has not been sleeping well during day time. The moment we put him on the bed to sleep within few minutes he shakes his hands , legs, starts to put his tongue little bit in and out as if very thirsty. Asking for feeds very very frequently. Please advise.

First of all, even if its summer, child doesn't need extra water for a 1 month baby. Mother milk is sufficient. Just see that breast milk is sufficient or not.
Next Steps
Can contact a pediatrician (online will be sufficient) for detailed counseling
