Q.

My 2 month old sleeps for 7 hours straight. Will my milk supply reduce if I don’t breastfeed since he’s sleeping? Should I always pump if he sleeps for longer period in order to maintain/increase supply?

A. Hello dear parent, if your baby is exclusively on breast feed then you shoukd definitely wake your baby up for feed in between if he is sleeping for 7 hours straight. As breast feed is very lihjt and can lead to dehydration in the baby.
