Father of a 1 yr 5 m old girl1 Year ago

Q.

My 4-month-old doesn't do active sucking as she drinks milk only when she is sleeping even though there is a gap of 3-4 hours. Will this affect my breast milk supply. I'm worried whether I may be able to continue breastfeeding for long (say atleast 1year) with this situation as there is no active sucking.

A. hello you can try feeding the baby in a silent place for the child may be able to take or you can even try to express the milk and feed the same using a b p a free bottle like babyhug which will also help baby to take and absolutely nothing to worry and this will not affect the milk supply
