Breast feeding for 4months old

2021-02-09 15:29:23
Hi doctor My son is approaching 4 months , he is on breast feed only. From last two weeks he stopped drinking every two hours. He is not asking for milk , once in 4 hrs if I put near breast he is drinking that too for first 5 mins later he cries and moves away . Some times he is not even coming to breast if I try to feed him. I am afraid if I am generating enough milk. His stomach looks flat after feed. And also lips also mostly looks dry. He passes urine normally but stools once in 7 -8days . Please suggest if I have to improve my breast milk supply or how can j know if he is having enough.

Feed him on demand...if weight gain is normal, passing adequate urine, sleeps well.....I don't think anything to worry

Hi, Feed on demand. As babies grow older the feeding time reduces and duration between feeds increases. This is normal. If baby is active and gaining weight adequately, nothing to worry
