Give cue based feeding like when baby gives clues like sucking his hand, taking out tongue it means baby is hungry. Do not wait for baby to cry out loud to demand feed.for more details you can book audio or video call appointment with me as I am a certified Lactation councellor.

Absolutely, you're correct. It's essential to ensure that the baby feeds properly, but try not to feed them every two hours. Current guidelines suggest feeding on demand. Only offer food when the baby shows signs of significant hunger, like crying loudly,loudly sucking their fingers and so on . When their hunger peaks, they typically feed better for around 10 to 15 minutes. It's also crucial to ensure they have complete feeds.
