A. hey mommy few tips may help 1. breastfeed atleast every two hours. 2. each feeding session should be mi 20 mins. the baby may tend to sleep of so keep your sessions lively and wake her up gently if she sleeps. dream feed if necessary. this is all through the 24 hour cycle. 3. feed from one breast during one feeding session and alternate the side in teh next session. this will ensure she is getting both the fore milk and the hind milk.
