Accepted Answer

For a one-month-old baby, it's common for feeding sessions to last between 5 to 15 minutes. If your baby is feeding 9 to 10 times a day, that’s generally in the normal range, as newborns typically feed about 8 to 12 times a day.

As for the frequency of urination, peeing 8 to 9 times a day is also typical for a baby of this age. The frequency and volume of pee can vary based on how much milk your baby consumes and their overall hydration.

Since your baby falls asleep after 10 minutes of feeding and seems content, it’s likely that she’s getting enough milk. However, if she consistently cries after feeding or seems hungry, you might want to try:

1. **Ensuring Proper Latch**: Make sure your baby is latching well to get a good milk supply.
2. **Offering Both Breasts**: Allow her to nurse from both breasts if possible to ensure she gets enough milk.
3. **Waking for Feeding**: If she’s falling asleep too quickly, gently wake her to ensure she feeds well.

If you’re concerned about her feeding patterns or overall health, consulting your pediatrician can provide personalized advice and reassurance.
