A. Hi, once in every two hours you need to feed the baby for about 20 minutes that is 10 minutes on the left breast and 10 minutes on the right breast and also depending on baby’s demand. But please do not force feed or feed. Make sure there is a gap of two hours between every feed. After feeding give a gap of few seconds and burp your baby well.
