A. ots fine, they use to duck longer to comfort themselves. feed as often as they seem hungry or want comforted, offer more breastfeeds, feed from both breasts at each breastfeed.

A. Not so if s baby tummy is full then chekx if passing urine 7-8 times in 24 hours and if baby is looking content after every feed. And your breast may seem weightless after feed. If so baby is getting enough feed. Babies don't starve. They will sure cry if they are hungry. Just burp well after every feed. If baby is feeling content after feed then no isseus it means baby had fed well.
