Hi. My little one is week old. in the day time, he usually feeds for 5-10 mins and then dozes off. the length of feed increases to 15-20 mins at night time. His gaps in feeds ranges from an hour to 3 hours. Total he takes feed 6-10 times. I am feeling he is not getting enough feed. what should i do? as a new mother i m anxious

Happened with my baby too...Dr. asked me to feed the baby as per his demand. Do not wake the baby. Remember the baby will not sleep if he is hungry. tickle the baby's ear or feet <u>if</u> the baby sleeps while feeding

that is normal sugandha.. my baby also did the same. you can confirm that your baby is having enough by checking the count of pee. it should be minimum 6 times. also donot let your baby be without milk for more than 3-4 hrs right now, as baby is very small. you can wake the baby by tickling ears and leg. hope this helps
