POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. At two months old, your baby is still in the early stages of breastfeeding, and it's normal for some babies to feed for shorter periods. However, the duration of feeding can vary from baby to baby, and there are a few things you can check to ensure your baby is getting enough milk:
Milk Supply: Make sure you have a sufficient milk supply. If you're concerned, you can express milk and check the quantity to see if it's adequate.
Latch and Positioning: Ensure that your baby is latched properly, as poor latch can result in ineffective feeding. If needed, consider consulting a lactation consultant for guidance on positioning and latch.
Hunger cues: If your baby seems content, has wet diapers (about 6-8 per day), and is gaining weight, then short feeding sessions might be sufficient for her.
Growth Spurts: Babies often go through growth spurts where their feeding patterns may change temporarily. If she seems hungry more often or is waking up earlier for feeds, that's a sign of a growth spurt.
If you’re unsure, it’s always good to consult with your pediatrician or a lactation consultant to ensure your baby’s feeding is progressing well.
