Is my breast milk enough
My baby is 2 months old.every time i try to feed him he only latches for about 5 mins and doesn't want to eat more and wants to eat in every 1.5hours. In 24 hours he pee for about more than 8 times and poop for 1-2 times a day. Is he getting enough milk from this 5 mins of latching. I also sometimes feel like maybe I'm having less breast milk.please help doctor!!!

Hi. Its demand feeding. Whatever frequency they demand you need to feed. Monitor for weight gain. If its happening @  atleast 20gms per day it indicates everything you are feeding is enough
