A. The size of the stomach of a newborn baby is around 30 ML only. So if the baby is able to suck one breast and sleeping after feeding it means that the baby is full. The next time give the opposite breast. It is not necessary that the baby should use both breasts at the same timeWrite Your Answer Here

A. During the first few months, feeding times gradually get shorter and the time between feedings gets a little longer. By the time a baby is 3 to 4 months old, they are breastfeeding, gaining weight, and growing well. It may only take your baby about 5 to 10 minutes to empty the breast and get all the milk they need.
