Question

Milk supply and dbf

Asked for Female, 29 Years

My Baby is 20 days old weight 2.3kg. Just a day ago stopped ebf and started exclusive direct breast feed for him. He is asking for feed hourly once. If I feed him he sleeps in 5 or 10 mins, when laid down he is crying again. He passed urine 8 times between morn 5 to eve 5 and stool once. Is milk supply low is that why he is asking for feed again and again , or is it normal for babies to do this inspite of getting sufficient milk. How should I handle this please guide 🙏
