Q. My 2 month old is demanding feed every hour. When I feed him, he takes the feed properly. Even when he breaks the latch after being full(I feel he is full since he breaks the latch himself), I offer him the breast again to ensure he is full. Then again he demands feed after an hour. This has been going on for 3 days now.
