Can a baby get his tummy full by sucking for 5 mins only after every 1 to 1.5 hr?
Hello everyone...my baby is 1.5 months old and is on exclusive breastfeeding...he sucks only for 5 mins and then sleeps for 1 to 1.5 hrs after which he sucks again for 5 mins only. His pee count is 6+ in 24 hrs,he poops once every three days.I am confused if his feeding pattern is normal or if I am short of supply..Please help.

latching for 5min all the time indicates baby getting tired of latching. may be you are not holding your baby in right position which is comfortablefor him to latch for longer time. his face should face your nipple. your aerola should be in his mouth completely. his stomach should be almost touching your stomach. and head should be held higher than lower body.
