My daughter is not gaining weight and I'm doing EBF for her. She actually weighed 3.7Kg at birth. When I took her to the hospital for 6weeks immunizatI also noticed she does not sleep deep during the day except if I back her. She cries often as well. People around me are suggesting I bath her with Agbo and also give her to drink and I don't want to give her agbo. Please help I'm confused

Once baby is well fed and satisfied, hopefully the crying will reduce and sleep will improve too.

Breastmilk is the best for your baby. Breastfeed exclusively in the first six months of life.....it is very beneficial to both mother and baby. Please do not listen to experienced mothers advice.

Probably baby is not satisfied. As a nursing mother, eat well balanced diet and take lots of fluids, such as water, yogurt, fresh fruits juice etc.
Check baby weighed afterwards and there will be improvement.
