A. Hello mom Yes it is quite normal. Some babies don’t take sufficient milk in one take so you have to feed your baby on demand. Whenever you baby is asking for Milk you have to feed your baby. If your baby is having any issues in latching the nipples then in such case you can start using Babyhug nipple shield
