Hello doctor. My baby's birth weight was gud. But now as she is 24 days old, she has lost more weight. My paed advised me to feed her 2 hrs once for 20 mins. But my baby wants her to feed every 1 hr at least for more than 30 mins. When I told about this to my paed. He said that we should follow 2 hrs rule only. Or else the weight will reduce and if the weight is not increasing in a week, we should give formula milk only. I'm totally confused. please help me. I want my baby to be in breast milk only. What is the correct method of breastfeeding? Should we feed in both sides for a single time? What should be the interval between feedings and for how many minutes should we give? What can be done to make the baby get the full fat milk?

I will suggest you to see that your baby s stomach to be full whenever you give breast milk and her weight should increase on its own unless until she is suffering from any disease.
