Mom of a 4 yr 5 m old boy4 years ago

Q.

Hi. My 50 day old baby sucks only for 5 mins and then sleeps off. Even if I try to wake him up, he does not continue sucking. He pees 8-10 times. Is this normal? Will this affect his weight gain?

A. Hi, New born babies sleep more and that's good for their weight gain. Don't worry if baby sleeps. Don't wake up for feed. Do breastfeeding on demand only. Min urine frequency should be 4-5 times in 24 hour. Continue breastfeeding till 6 month exclusively and don't forget to burp after every feed. Good sleep also helps in weight gain.
