Q.

why my baby is sucking milk slowly

1 Answer

Shabnam SheikhMom of 2 children3 years ago

A. hi..baby is still learning to suck milk and will take few more days to suck milk . In the early days when the quantity of milk produced is less, the baby will feed every 1 hour. As the child grows, the quantity of milk intake per feed increases and the number of feeds per day decreases. So, how much milk a newborn should drink during each feed depends on how frequent the feeding is. On average, a baby feeds 8-12 times per day. Also check if u have adequate milk supply sometimes when there is low milk supply baby also suck slowly.
