Baby sleeps while breastfeed
I have newborn of 1 month. Right now I am feeding him both formula and breast milk. I am trying to shift him on breastfeed for even 4-5 hours atleast.
But the problem is when I breastfeed he always end up sleeping in 2-3 minutes. I tried switching breast but same thing happened. Leaving him hungry and then I end up giving him formula.
