Q.

My daughter is 16 days old….whenever I start breastfeeding her she goes off to sleep within 5 minutes. Despite my trying all tricks to wake her up she still goes off to sleep and I feel I am not able to feed her properly. What should I do ?

A. dear parent, some babies feed for shorter duration. you should feed as per your baby's demand that is whenever baby wants and how much baby wants. if your baby is active, alert and passing urine more than 7 times in 24 hours then feeding is sufficient.
