A. Hello ma’am Initially a newborn takes time to take a feed because they do not know how to large but slowly with time the learn it so they normally take a feed for 10 to 15 minutes maximum and they are done because the latching speed is normally faster. If your child is feeling for you in 30 minutes sometime in 10 minutes it is fine till the time your child is not asking for a feed before 2 to 3 hours it is perfectly fine there is nothing to be worried about

Q. #AsktheExperts My baby is 2 m 15 days old today. Since a few days he has been irritated while taking feed( would only feed for 2-3 mins and then start crying). He had always drank his feed for around 5-10 mins only from first month. His weight gain was normal till a week back. But now he's spending less time for feeds (less than 4/5 minutes). I'm very worried with this behavior. How can i encourage him to drink more? Please help
