Feeding quantity
Hello Doctor,
Our baby girl is 24 days old and her milk intake has increased. From 200 ml to 600- 700 ml now in just a weeks time is what my baby is feeding. We are worried that Baby might be drinking too much milk. Is it ok to feed her? These days my wife is unable to manage breast milk due to my daughter demand. breast milk is what i am referring to. Sometimes as top up in mid night when she cannot produce breast milk, we give lactogen 30-50 ml to compensate her full meal. But my daughter does not like lactogen and we often throw it later. My question is ' is it ok to feed baby as per her need or should we give only required milk quantity ?

I understand your concerns. The baby takes 600-700ml per day which seems to be adequate. There is no recommendations as baby should take only certain quantity of feeds. Demand feeding is what recommended. So nothing to worry , please avoid formula milk and continue breastfeeding only.
