Ideally babies should be fed every 2-3 hourly. If the baby doesn’t wake up every feed. Try harder by tickling palms. Soles. Below the head. Back and wake up the baby for feeds. Donot prolong the inter feeding time interval. Try to find a place in the corner of the room so that both of you are not disturbed or distracted.

Hello mam
There are simple clues to know if the baby is getting enough milk.
1. If the baby is sleeping well/not crying 2-3 hours after breastfeeding
2. Growing well, having good weight gain
3. Passing urine 6-8 times a day.
Then the baby is fine.
You not worry at all. Baby will demand milk whenever he is hungry and that a mother knows best.
You are doing great work giving only mother milk to baby and should continue it till 6 months of age of baby.
Next Steps
Rest reassured
