A. You cannot force feed the baby and you have to feed the baby on demand. There is a probability that the baby is getting all of the milk in the first two minutes that is required to quench that thirst

Q. My baby sometimes is so deep in sleep that he doesn’t demand feed for 5-6 hrs. There are days where he will feed for only 5-7 minutes in about 2 hrs and then sleep. And there are some days wherein he will feed for 10-15 minutes in about an hour. How do I create a balance. Is it okay that a 2.5 month old baby doesn’t demand feed on some days? Is it okay to wake him up for a feed every 2 hrs?
