Q.

we had a premature baby abd he was taking Pallada feeds. He started breast feeding 2 weeks back. But now, he is taking very less feed (feeds only for 5 mins) and gets hungry again after 1 -1.5 hrs. he is 40 weeks old. is this okay or how do ensure he takes a full feed. if we feed him in bottle, he takes more feed and he doesn't get hungry for 2.5 -3 hrs

A. thankyou for your responses. no we haven't started solids. by 40 weeks, I meant not after delivery. he has completed 2 months after delivery

A. Hello mom Yes it is quite normal. Some babies don’t take proper feed in one take then in such case you should repeat the feeding in very less time gap. And it is totally fine so you should not worry about it at all. Baby should be totally on mother’s milk and there is no need to give anything else till your baby turned six months old
