Hi. My baby takes breast feeding as long as 1.5 to 2 hrs and still is hungry. Then I feed her with formula milk and she takes 60 to 90 ml of thst too. Is this ok ? Is she satisfied with my breast milk or is my my milk supply not enough for her ?

A. breast milk is always sufficient till completion of six months.. if baby is nursing for More time... can be due to insecurity too.. Never means breastmilk is not sufficient .

A. If u have to fed the child for 2 hours that automatically shows ur feed isn’t enough and a child takes a feed for 10-15 mins max not for that long so switch to formula only As that would be better for you and your child both in the current scenario
