Baby feeding issue
Hello Dr my baby who is 3 months old asks for feeding very oftenly. Some time she sleeps for 4 hours straight some times she sleeps only for half an hour at night. So I am thinking to check if my milk supply is slow or low. Though she is gaining weight every month 700-900gms. N she wets her diaper as well.is it good idea to check with breast pump if she is getting enough milk or not. Please guide

Her weight gain seems adequate. Which is a good indicator of milk supply. Breast pump may not reveal the exact milk supply, because when the baby suckles the supply is definitely more. As for sleep, most babies her age do not sleep for long spells and thats completely normal
