Q.

#AskTheExpert My daughter is 25 days old. She takes breastfeeding for 15 minutes and asks for it after every 1.5-2 hours. At midnight she takes breastfeeding only twice. So I wanted to know whether 15 minutes for one feed is sufficient enough and the interval between two feeds is fine or not?

A. the duration of feeding and the time gap.between 2 feeds, both are good Maam. at this stage this is the best. feed from both the breasts. eat well and frequently breastfeed. try and breastfeed exclusively till completion of six months. in the night also try and breastfeed atleast once every 2 hours or 3 hours max if baby is in deep sleep.
