I will suggest to continue breast milk till 6months age. Regarding if child is getting adequate feed or not only way to confirm is urine output, passing stools and weight monitoring. So if child is passing urine more then 5times day, passing stools and gaining weight then nothing to worry.

Hi .
As we encourage all mothers to breastfeed till 6 completed months . So kindly extend for 1more month so that baby gets fully benefited . Don’t think that whenever baby cry , low milk is not the only reason .
Baby might be finishing feeding time quiet early than before .
Health Tips
Avoid even water also or else we will be unnecessary giving infections .
