Hi. My baby is 37 days old. whenever I do breastfeed my baby just suck for 3-4 minutes then sleep and then after 10 minutes again cry for milk. Like this I have to spend 2-3 hour on feeding and at the end to keep her calm have to give formulae milk. But whenever I use to do pump m getting 100 ml in morning ang 60-70 ml in evening. And that's why I have to pump and give her milk like this .no latching problem. She leached properly. Kindly suggest what to do so that she do the breast feed directly. Why she sleep after 3-4 minutes of sucking?

Most of the newborns trouble their mothers like this. You need patiently keep feeding by slowly stroking the sole of her feet or flicking the ear lobe to wake up and feed till the breast is emptied fully or the baby's stomach s completely filled.

She is hardly a few days old. Kids tend to get tired very easily. When she is tired, she sleeps n when hungry again cries. U need to have patience. This whole time is for her exclusively. Keep on trying n have patience.
