A. Your baby's feeding pattern and output suggest he is likely getting enough milk, as 10 to 13 wet diapers in 24 hours are a good indicator of adequate hydration. Feeding every hour for 45 minutes can be exhausting but is not uncommon at this age, as babies often feed frequently during growth spurts for nourishment and comfort. If your baby is gaining weight well (typically 150-200 grams per week in the first few months), there may not be a need to introduce formula. However, if feeding every hour is unsustainable, you can try offering both breasts during each feeding to ensure your baby gets more milk and stays fuller for longer. Encourage active feeding by keeping him awake and alert during nursing. Gradually, this might space out feeding intervals. Consult your pediatrician if you’re concerned about milk supply or your baby's growth. Remember, it's okay to consider formula as a supplement if you need rest, but only after assessing the baby's needs and your comfort.

Q. #Mamypoko#AskTheExpert Is it normal for babies to take feed for 45 mins or upto 1 hr 15-20 mins. My baby is 16 days old and he is taking feed at this duration. Say in 2 hrs he would take 1 feed for 40-45 mins. Again if he isn't falling asleep he would demand more milk and feed for another 15-20 mins. So in 2 hrs he might feed upto 1 hr 20 mins at times ( First feed for 40-45 mins then a break and then second feed for 15-20 mins). Once he took feed upto 1 hr at a stretch. Kindly let know if these feeding duration is normal for new born. Few suggested that the ideal duration for feeding would be 20-30 mins. Kindly let know you're opinion on the above query and if feeding for long duration is normal

Q. #AskTheExpert#MamyPoko Hi Sir. My delivery happened few days ago and I was blessed with baby boy. He is 16 days old now completing 2 weeks. I have query regarding his feeding pattern. He is taking feeds for 40 - 45 mins now and if he's not falling asleep with that, he would again demand for milk. Again that would be a small feed for 15-20 mins. So in one and a half or 2 hours he would feed sometimes for an hour or 1 hr 15-20 minutes not at a stretch but breaking the feed. (45 mins feed first, a gap and again for 15-20 mins). So wanted to check if it is normal for new born to feed for this much time 45 mins to 1 hr 20 mins. Few suggested that the ideal time would be 20 mins to half n hour per feed. Kindly let know you're thoughts on this.
