As this is summer dehydration affects babies a lot. As the beginning part of the milk has more water content kids drink that part and sleeps without taking last part of the milk which has more fat content which helps babies gain weight and helps them to sleep for long times. So kindly check your breasts if baby is latching out soon by expressing.
