Do babies reduce feeding?

2021-07-08 13:48:53
My 6 months old daughter now takes breastfeeding only for 1-2 mins when I try to feed her after 2 hours of gap.. Is it sufficient for her? I give her home made cerelac thrice a day. But are the milk requirements fulfilled with just 1-2 mins of feeding around 5-6 times in the entire 24 hours.
