A. hello, Wake you baby- Use diaper changes to wake baby. Talk to your baby as he nurses. Babies love the sound of their mother’s voice. Walk your fingers up baby’s spine. Rub the soles of baby’s feet. Massage baby’s scalp. Hold your baby up in front of you, talk and make eye contact. Gently clap baby’s hands together or bicycle baby’s legs. With your thumb on baby’s palm and a finger on the back of baby’s hand, rhythmically apply pressure.

A. Hi 10 to 15 minutes of feeding is very good your child’s tummy must be full in the first time which is why your child is sleeping in your child is leaving feeding in 10 to 15 minutes otherwise some kids take it for a really long time and that’s very exhausting so this is the correct time your child is feeding for it can be less than this
