Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy4 years agoA. you have to give only demand feeding to the child that is whenever the child feels hungry you can give milk to the child and the child will take the milk according to the need and then will leave the milk. if the child is taking more milk you can offer milk in more quantity with intermittent burping . there is no need to to go for hourly basis as a less quantity basis
meet your doctor to find the weight gain of the child as well as weight and height of the child and if they are within normal limits then no need to worry if there are less then doctor will assess for nutritional deficiency as well as need of supplements for your child.....

SanthoshiMom of a 8 yr old girl4 years agoA. Weight seems good according to birth weight make sure that you try to to feed for longer time duration. Like 15-20 mins each breast. So what happens is This way baby will get balanced foremilk and hind milk. Foremilk comes in the beginning for 5-10 mins then comes the hind milk which is rich in fats and can help baby gain weight. So always empty a breast each time duirng feeding. Always try to feed for longer hours that is very beneficial to the baby.
