A. Hi, you need to feed once in every two hours for about 20 minutes that is 10 minutes on the left breast and 10 minutes on the right breast and burp your baby well. If baby is sleeping then you can give a gap of 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours but not more than that. If baby is sleeping continuously then make sure to feed once in every two hours take your baby gently onto the lap and massage on the back of the ear so that baby will start latching and then burp your baby well and put the baby back to sleep. Continue this until the completion of six months.Write Your Answer Here
