A. Dear Mamma, please feed on demand..No schedule and no timing..Each baby us different and some baby could feed in two minutes and some may take an hour. There would be roughly 9-15 sessions a day

A. Feed the baby on demand babies don't keep themselves hungry will demand if hungry generally a gap of 2 to 3 hrs is fine. Also about 15 - 20 minutes on each side is fine. Feed the baby well on one side till empty so that the baby gets hind milk too and then switch to the other side.
