Spitting up in babies

Image
Hello dear parents   You all must have noticed that babies under 6 months age spit up regularly, mostly after having feeds. Many times they are having continuous hiccups. Sometimes they cry constantly for about 2 hours, usually in the evening.  At that time we look for help, a little worried and concerned but then the entry of our elderly people comes with lots of reassurance, home remedies, and the words.

So amid the confu...

Parents especially fathers feel so delighted in the starting by watching the baby’s small hands and feet.
