A. dear Mum this is completely normal do not doubt breastmilk feeding pattern varies from baby to baby and may change also baby may feed more frequently when experiencing growth spurt if urine output and weight gain is normal baby is active then feeding is sufficient

Rajani SrivastavaMom of 2 children1 Year ago

A. Baby's Demand increase as they grow.. for sure ur breast milk is not sufficient that's why baby is demanding more frequently.. include more liquids in ur diet, add some satavari in milk and have it twice a day.. this will definitely increase ur milk.. I also suggest u for the meanwhile u can introduce formula milk .so that Baby's appetite will satisfy..he will be full for long . try Aptamil Gold formula milk..I am also giving this to my baby.. it closest to breast milk hence very light for baby.. the prebiotics present in this make it easy to digest . I m satisfy with this for my baby .
