A. it's totally normal to feed the baby only for 10 minutes you should not feed more than that and give proper burping to remove gas in stomach so that baby will take feed properly

A. Babies can take as much as an hour to finish a feed, or as little as five minutes. The important thing is that, in the early weeks and months, your baby sets the pace. The length of a feed depends on how long it takes for milk to go from your breast to your baby. For some mums and babies, this happens quite quickly.

Q. My baby is 2 months old. For the last 3 weeks, he starts crying his lungs out while breast feeding. This lasts for a period of 8-10 hours in a day and the time is also not static. For first 2 weeks, it was during the night time. (he will not cry during day feeds, will sleep off after sucking for 5-10 mins). This week it is during the day time.( he will not cry during night feeds, will sleep off after sucking for 5-10 mins) Sometimes he sucks for 10 mins and cries, sometimes starts crying within 2 mins of sucking. Switching sides also does not help. Because of this, am compelled to hand express milk and feed him during that part of the day (which is as long as 8-10 hours). Please help me understand what's happening. Am very worried and feeling dejected.
