#asktheexpert Hi, my son is 2 months old. My concern is that when I breastfeed him he only latches for about 5-10 mins, so does he get full?

A. Namaste Mom, That depends on the quality and quantity of the feed produced. So bascially you would feel a fullness of say heavyness in your breast , when it is full , once the baby is feeding it gets lighter. observe the weight gain of the baby as well , as that is one of the best indicators for it
