A. yes dear. breastmilk is formed by suckling reflex of baby.. its a hormonal relation.. more frequently you feed.. More will be production. so breastmilk is always sufficient till completion of six months

A. yes this is true , when baby is taking the milk directly from the breast then more milk will form, milk ducts will be enhance to produce more milk . and also you can express milk after few minutes again to store it or feed to baby
