My one month old baby is demanding milk for every 1-1.5 hrs and the feed with breaks in between goes for an hr. In the day he is not sleeping much he sleeps for half an hr and he starts crying for feed. Please tell if this is normal ?? Sometimes its becoming stressful to feed for every half an hr.

A. good evening it is definitely not normal it could be because of the fact that the mother's milk is not sufficient for the child I would recommend that you would try to introduce formula milk alongside
