Breastfeeding

2020-04-26 17:02:37
My son 1 and half month old. Birth weight was 2935 gms now he is 4320gms. If weight measures enough breastmilk for him then why he shows sucking milk sign while sleeping? When I try to touch my finger at his lips he try to suck is it possible that he is hungry all the time? He generally sleeps after feeding session of 45min or so.

He is gaining adequate weight. Sucking activity while sleeping is self soothing behavior. And trying to suck finger is a neonatal reflex. So don't worry. Only breastfeeding till 6 months
