A. Feeding two to three hourly initially till your baby learn to latch.afyer than feeding the baby on demand i.e. whenever your baby is hungry. Crying, putting fingers in the mouth, or making sucking noises convey that the baby is hungry. A newborn baby needs to be fed every couple of hours. Burping is important so that the air consumed during the feedings can be let out since it makes the baby fussy. Patting or rubbing a baby's back usually helps them to burp or pass gas. g

A. Include foods like oats with nuts, fenugreek, carom seeds, cumin, dry fruits, legumes, banana, avocado, ghee, eggs, chicken, fennel seeds, garlic, brown rice and milk While nursing, keep massaging the breasts to stimulate the milk supply and latch baby frequently as supply largely depends on the demand.

A. If baby is latching more than usual, or baby's cheeks look full instead of sucked in or he does not look satisfied after feed and have disturbed sleeping patterns or you do not feel heaviness in your breasts are few signs that milk supply is low.

A. how do i check my milk flow?? I am a new mother so its difficult to know how much my milk flow should be??

A. Depending on your milk flow, breastfeeding should be done in every 2-3 hours to an infant. Feeding every hour can cause overfeeding and vomiting if breastmilk supply is good and also it will be tiring for the mother too. It will also impact the sleeping patterns of the baby which is important in the initial months for healthy growth and development.
