A. as she us 2 month old, no need. Typically, babies need to be fed every 2-3 hours in the first month – making it to 10-12 feeds every day in a span of 24 hours. In the second month, the frequency might reduce to 8-9 times, and in the third month it will be 7-8 times.

A. hi..Newborn babies are extremely sleepy in the early days following their birth. An infant might move his mouth in its sleep and then continue sleeping. Before four weeks since birth, it’s best to wake him up every 4 hours in the night for a feeding cycle, and every 2 hours in the day for the same. once they drink enough milk to satisfy their hunger they turn their mouth away from ur breast. If they move away from your breast and are still uncomfortable, they might be suffering from gasses or stomach-ache, and you may try to check for those.
