Dear Patient,

okay we can recommend some child specialsits, who can help you with th child's appetite and low intake.

it is my personal opinion that all the issues will resolve if you give your child sufficient tummy time before meals. I'm attaching a vidoe below that can guide you. once you do this your child may have more milk and then be able to burp more
