Mom of a 2 yr 8 m old boy2 years ago

Q.

My baby is 2 months old. I'm feeding him 6 times a day after evry 3 to 4 hrs gap. As I'm expressing and giving BM in bottle I can tell he is drinking 90 to 120 ML each time. Is that enough? Or should I increase or decrease duration of feeding or amount of milk?

A. hello mom as when exclusively breast feeding it is always preferable to feed on demand , also gradually you can increase the quantity and see how long the baby can sustain it
