Hi.. My baby who is 3 months old usually latches on for only 5 mins and goes off the breast. Then comes back again after an hour or so. She has atleast 8 wet diapers a day. Poops once in 5 days. But she is not gaining much weight. I feel like she is drinking only foremilk. What should I do?

A. do not worry about this feed the baby from one breast at a time so that baby can have both foremilk and hindmilk ok if the baby is gaining weight normally do not worry
