Child Health Issues
Need help on breastfeeding
My daughter is 2 months 15 days old. Her birth weight was 2.5 kg and now she is 4.3 kg. She is exclusively breastfed, but her weight gain trend is on the lower side
She takes feeds only for 5–6 minutes per session, with one/two 10–15 minute feed in a day. At night she sleeps deeply, and when I wake her up, she drinks milk for a maximum of 5 minutes and then falls asleep again. During day time she will either pulls away from breast or getting distracted or she will be sleepy after 5-6 min.
Even if the gap between feeds is only 2 hours, she still feeds for just 5–6 minutes.
Her feeding position and latch are correct. Milk supply is also sufficient. She is very active during the day time. She is urinating 8-10 times a day with good amount.
How can I improve her feeding duration and weight gain? Please suggest.
