A. this pattern is common but whether the urine output is normal or not will tell whether the amount of breastfeeding is adequate or not first of all meet your doctor and get the weight of the child assessment done. if the weight gain of the child is within normal limits as well as the urine output is normal then do not worry about the feeding pattern, the sleeping pattern and the crying pattern of the child. your doctor is the best person to tell you whether any outside milk is required or not until that time kindly continue only breastfeeding. Continue exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months of age of the child

A. hi mam,first please offer direct feeding and maintain skin Contact while feeding your child. it will help to increase your breastmilk secretion. ensure that your child should pass urine at least 7 or 8 times in a day because a good urine output indicates that your child is getting enough milk.
