A. Hello dear parent, some babies take 2 months to latch on to the breast yo breast feed. So do not get disheartened. Just keep on breast feeding your bab y every two. Hours. If your baby is urinating 8 to 10 times in the day then your baby is well fed and well hydrated. Also baby will learn to latch properly.
