I'm really worried about my 1-month-old daughter. Shes been exclusively on breastfeed, but my elders are saying I'm not producing enough milk since she wants to feed more often and doesnt sleep much. I'm considering giving her powdered milk. Is that okay, and if so, how much should I be giving her?

I'm really worried about my daughter. For the past two days, she's been blinking involuntarily, but it only happens when she's watching TV or using her mobile phone. Its not super frequent, yet it's causing some anxiety for us. What could be causing this, and what should we do about it?

That could be due to Dry eyes,let her not use any screens and feed her often,you can give refresh tear drops for better results
