Baby feeding process
My baby boy is 15days old.The problem is I think he can't have enough breastmilk.When I try to brestfeed him,after sucking for around 5minutes he felt sleepy and sleep in my lap.I try to burp him but he's so sleepy that he never burps but he pees and poops. I thought the session is over but when I put him on bed,he cried and again he feeds breastmilk for another 10to15 minutes..Then I tried to burp but he doesn't. he needs to be fed every now and then and so frequently. and I think he's never full as he always opens his mouth,sometimes tongue.what is the solution?this is horrible for me at night as I had c section delivery.I don't have that energy at night.
Hi, this is a very common issue faced by new moms . Donot worry , your baby will sleep atleast 16-18 hrs a day initially, n after a feeding session give a gap of atleast an hour before the next feed.
Newborn babies have exaggerated rooting reflex n they ll open their mouth n protrude their tongue frequently. If ur baby is wetting 4-5 diapers a day n passing golden yellow seedy stools a day , it means ur milk in enough for him. Donot feed every now n then n look for other causes of crying like wet diapers , gassiness etc
