It is pretty normal.Try only exclusive Breast feeding during first 6 moths of life.Try to feed the baby more during night as it helps to increase milk production due effect of prolactin. Baby shoul feed at least 8-10 times a day

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
If the baby is comfortable for atleast 2 hrs after the feed and good weight gain and healthy otherwise, then no worry. But we need to look at oral cavity for any thrush, ulcers or throat congestion also.
Next Steps
If any of the symptoms , consult pediatrician.
Health Tips
Give exclusive mother feed during initial 6 months.
Sometimes bottle feed can cause Nipple confusion and feeding difficulties.
