My newborn is 15 days old.. she often sleeps and when I feed her every 2hrs.. she takes in only up to 10-15 mins of active feed later she doze off.. Is this enough for a newborn ? Also I hear about hind milk.. will my baby get enough nutrition?

15-20 mins on each breast is enough for babies .if baby is passing urine well she should be fine . Your baby’s growth will ultimately be reflected in the weight on follow up . Adequate Urine is a good proxy indicator of adequate feeding patterns .
