Hello doctor. I have a 2 month old baby girl. Past few weeks, she feeds for 10 mins or less every 2 to 3 hours. If i try to feed earlier or more, she does not open her mouth. Her birth weight was 3kgs and her weight as of 8 weeks is 4.8kgs. She pees around 13 times if feeding less, or around 17 times if she feeds more. Is this normal??

A. since your baby is gaining weight appropriately and even passing urine also more than adequately there is no need to worry about the feeding schedule of the baby probably baby is normal

Q. #AsktheExperts 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
