Breastfeeding and unlatching

2021-05-11 06:48:39
My 4months old baby feeds for only 5 minutes and keeps unlatching and again open her mouth and search for nipple and sometimes if I forcefully keeps the breast inside her mouth she gets fussy. This happens mostly at day time but when she is asleep at night she feeds for 20 25 minutes. I am concern whether i am low milk supply but if I press milk is there.please reply

Babies are easily distracted by surrounded things. Try feeding her in quite place with less distraction. Do not force her for feeding let her ask for it then feed her. If you are not sure about quantity of milk you can measure expressed milk by using breast pump
