A. its okay. some babies just feed for their comfort. its called comfort nursing as they may feel insecure without you..it never means your feed is low be with your child always

A. Hi dear mom If ur baby is taking more than two hours then this can be due to low milk supply. Check for ur breast milk supply by expressing ur milk and see if it is sufficient for the baby or not. Take care
