A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please try to feed for atleast 15 mins from each side. If baby is passing urine atleast 8-10 times in day then baby is getting enough breast milk. Baby weight depends on birth weight and normally doubles by the age of six months and triples by the age of one year. If baby is active and taking feed properly then no need to panic. Mother should take healthy food items including fresh fruits and dry fruits. Thanks and take care
