A. Hi mom. Yes this is OK. If ur baby is active and comfortable otherwise, passing out urine 6-8 times in a day, accepting feeds then no need to worry. This means that ur baby is taking sufficient feed.

Q. How long is the ideal time to breastfeed a baby. Is it ok to feed the baby 30mins at a time. Coz when my baby feeds for 30mins he spits when i pick him up to burp him and he feeds for 30mins always. When sometimes he feeds for 20mins he doesn't spit at all. I worry if i force to feed him for 20mins oly he will not be satisfied enough.
