1. Leaking is normal. Please empty the first breast so that baby gets fore milk and hind milk and then offer the second breast if needed. Don't worry about the milk which has leaked.<br> 2. Sleeping soon after latching is normal in the first few days as for them its a new environment and they get tired. Try to awaken the baby and encourage completing the feed.<br> 3. Sound of burp is not important but holding upright after a feed for a few minutes is important.<br> 4.yes baby's do abdominal breathing which is completely normal.

Hi new mommy<br> First question<br> This happens as the baby sucks the breast of the one side, the oxytocin hormones are sending signals to secrete more from the other side too. Feed from both the side, from each breast ten minutes. Hold a towel below the leaking breast or breastfeeding leak pads are available to help you with this.<br> Secondly<br> If your baby is sleeping during feeding, just tap the leg of the baby and or tickle them on the leg, ur baby will start feeding again. It's natural that; baby's sleep due to the warmth. <br> Thirdly question<br> Burping is very important after each feed. Hold the baby on ur shoulder with head supported, pat the back slowly until they burp or message the tummy until they burp. If not burbed properly your baby will feel uneasiness or colicky<br> Lastly<br> The breathing pattern in babies are always faster, which makes it look like tummy going up n down. With time, as they grow and gain weight, this will settle. Don't worry.
