My baby is 2 m 15 days old today. Since a few days he has been irritated while taking feed( would only feed for 2-3 mins and then start crying). He had always drank his feed for around 5-10 mins only from first month. His weight gain was normal till a week back. But now he's spending less time for feeds (less than 4/5 minutes). I'm very worried with this behavior. How can i encourage him to drink more? Please help

dear mum, feeding pattern varies from baby to baby. you should feed as per your baby's demand. if baby is active, alert and passing urine more than 7 times in 24 hours then feeding is sufficient.
