Father of a 4 yr 8 m old boy4 years ago

Q.

My baby sleeps for almost 8 - 12 hours and it is difficult to wake him in between to give the feed. Even if he wakes up, he used to take very small amount of milk and again sleeps. I am worried about the quantity of milk through breastfeed he is taking. Please suggest the minimum time and frequency of the breastfeeding.
