I would check to see that your son’s weight gain is adequate. If formula feeding, check with your healthcare provider that the volume of formula is correct for his weight. I breastfed baby often requires “dessert” after the main part of a feed, which involves a 5 to 10 minute snack before going down. The rooting is a reflex which all babies have in the first 3 months. Suckling on a dummy or a clean finger can also help to soothe the baby
