Q.

#asktheexpert baby asking for feed every 30 mins and having just for 5 mins and sleeps

1 Answer

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months ago

A. If your baby is asking for a feed every 30 minutes and only feeding for 4-5 minutes before falling asleep, this could be due to several factors. At this age, many babies experience growth spurts, which can lead to increased hunger and frequent feedings. However, short feeding sessions may indicate that your baby is using breastfeeding for comfort rather than getting a full feeding. It’s important to ensure that your baby is latched properly to maximize milk intake. Consider trying to keep your baby awake during feedings by gently stroking their back or rubbing their feet to encourage longer feeds. If the frequent feeding continues and you're concerned about whether your baby is getting enough milk or not gaining weight properly, consult your pediatrician for personalized advice and guidance. They can help determine if there are any underlying issues and suggest strategies to establish a more effective feeding routine.
