Breast feeding position
Hi Doctors,
Our daughter is 3.5 months of age.
Last couple of days she is suffering with mild cough, sneezing , cold, nose congestion. Paediatrician prescribed Maxtra & Moxclav BD and nasoclear drops.
We are noticing one weird thing in breast feeding positioning since the time the cold symptoms has started. She is refusing taking monther's milk while sitting on lap which she used to do earlier. She is only taking milk by lying on one side. What could be the reason? Is there anything need to worry?
