Hello sir, i m trying to keep 3 hrs distance btwn feeding in my 3 month old(she passes a lot of stool frequently) but she drinks little milk for 10 15 mins n thn shes hungry within an hour. What should i do?
Your videos are very helpful and full of information. You had responded to my question about my baby taking smaller feeds but, I just wanted to check with you about his weight gain. He is 1 month 20 days and his weight is 4.1 kg. His birth weight was 2.81. Is this fine?
My baby is 6 weeks today, she was 7lbs 4oz when she was born, 12 lbs last week. Nutritionist told me today that she might ve overfed. My concern was that she is always gassy, All day, and struggles to let the gases out. Nutritionist suggests to reduce the feedings. Im nursing on demand, how can I avoid overfeeding her if she gets fussy when wants to nurse?
Growth also depends on genetic factors, so that by itself is only one factor. But it does help the fussiness to avoid over feeding, which could be just the frequency of feeds. Review my videos on colic and reflux (there is a playlist). Try to wait more between feeds and don’t feed too long (10-15 minutes is adequate at this age usually)
@@jharnasarma6177 hello! So i had an oversupply and the milk was coming to fast, and she was only getting to the first phase of the milk which can cause gases. I starting pumping before i nursed her and offer her the same breast if her last feeding session was less than 30 mins ago, that way my breast wasn’t that full and she could get to the fatty part.
My baby is one and a half month old. I use too overfeed him as he use to vomit after feeds. His weight is in normal healthy range but m confused about how much should I feed. Within 5 minutes he gets full. My milk flow is good n fast, is it because of my milk flow that he get full faster? Can baby survive 3 to 4 hours in 5 minutes of feeding? Because he sleeps 3 to 4 hrs after every feed n my mother in law says not to wake him up.

Thank you so much doctor i never knew I was overfeeding my baby till now, my baby is exactly 3 n half month old today and I have always feed her for every 1 hour if she's awake and she had colic issues but not much reflux problem but till now I continued that thinking my baby's demand is more, when she was infant she used to drink for 30-40 mins and now she drinks for max 10 mins and leaves by herself and I am using pacifier till now from when she was infant, her birth weight was 2.7 and currently 5.5kg, Did I set wrong habit? And in none of the pediatrician visit told me this😢 and I don't know how to make sure she's full and don't need milk I just check her belly if it's slightly big i will think yeah she's full. And now she sleeps for some 3-4 hours in a stretch but when she was infant she didn't sleep at all and may be overfeeding leading to colic was the problem for some days she didn't sleep for entire 24 hours and some days 12 hours and some days 8-9 hours and when it reached 24 hours I went to my pediatrician and he said it's normal 😮
My baby is 70 days old. She has been drinking milk occasionally for a few days. If not given, it is a terrible cry.At that time, he folds his hands and puts them in his mouth. Drink only for 5 minutes. Sleeps well day and night. Sleep continuously for 4 to 5 hours a night. Then it will be noisy to drink milk at intervals of 1 or one and a half hours. Still very little drinking and falling asleep. Is this normal?

Hi doctor i have overabundance of breast milk i am very confuse how to breastfeed my baby doctor said feeh him 10 to 15 minute only is this time enough to get to hind milk because in start there is foremilk only please guide me about breast feeding my baby is 2 months old and his weight is 4.7kg
At this age, babies can finish feed very quickly most of the time, leave it to baby if stops even after 5-10 minutes. If they empty the breast, they will get both fore and hind milk, try alternating one breast at each feed
Hello sir, I had c section delivery'Bcz of that baby was feeded with bottle, plus bcz of my inverted nipple problem,, baby has now nipple confusion, with great efforts I'm breast feeding him. But even after feeding him fr an hour, he still cries and I give him feeder either of formulla, or expresed milk with pump,What can I understand from this.. That he is not latching properly ?
@@mehvishafzah3059 limit breastfeeding to 20 minutes at each feed (use alternate breast at each feed), and give 30-60 ml expressed milk after each feed. You can space better and over a few weeks, you can try off this additional feed as baby feeds better. Continue using electric pump to empty both breasts after each feed
My baby breastfeed a lot. She sucks about 30-40 minutes straight up and can only rest and play for 15 minutes then wants to eat like she was not fed before. She's only 7 weeks and fights for the breast everytime like she's really hungry, she even eats her hands and cloths. I feel like she gets a lot milk cuz she vomits a lot too, with the nose most of the time.. what should I do?
@@mphomamadi3092 It is important to check the weight and compare the growth pattern from birth weight by plotting on growth chart-as this pattern could also happen with inadequate breastmilk-try pumping regularly and topup after a 15-20 minute breastfeed, and if your output is good and baby is satisfied, maintain it (once output increases, it may be adequate to just breastfeed)-review my video on how to improve output
My baby is of 2 months old sir all most 70 days. Now at the time of night it will cry because it need nipple in mouth for 2 to 3 hours continuously how to get rid from this problem sir
My baby is 5months old , 7.8kg , 4 to 5 diapers I change a day( is it less). Baby prefer to drink milk while sleeping (slow suckling) n also gets n drink middle of the night again slow suckling when I try to disconnect Baby breast he cries n look for it.. I am doing something wrong or over feeding the baby. I would be greatfull for ur response.
This is okay to some extent but not frequently. You could try changing the feed timings a bit. Weight depends on birth weight and gender, try plotting on growth chart like WHO growth chart
How to maintain space between each feed. Because within 1 hr of feed , he again wants to feed. If i don't feed him, he starts crying. How to change the habit of baby. I don't want to use pacifier. My baby pees more than 20 times a day. Does peeing make his stomach empty? Is this normal to pee more than 20 times?
Doctor, I am second time mother of 3 months old baby, she is feeding every 3 to 4 hour at day time and night even 6 hours apart. She got cold and I am feeding often due to fear of coughing and sneezing. But after feeding often she herself putting fingers inside mouth and spitting milk and she is unable to sleep due to excessive milk . And regarding feeding duration, she unlatches in 2 to 3 minutes, I myself offering breast feeling as such she left by mistake. This is what I interpret from her cues. Can you please clarify whether am I overfeeding?
Hi, even if she has a mild cold, no need to force her to feed more often, let her regulate her intake as she has been doing very well before. Use nasal saline if that is affecting her, and some feeds can be as short as 3 minutes if she is efficient. If her appetite has reduced due to a virus, it is short term, you can express if you feel engorged
My baby is 2 month old she cry after every feed she drink overfeed but when I take off breast she cry I feel like she is not full but after some time she feel discomfort breathe and his body is shaking and she cry alot...I dont know what I do ...how I stop her from overfed
Review this and discuss with your doctor. A short period on infant Gaviscon if available or a short (3-4 days) on other medication that I discuss in this video could help. You might need to avoid milk and egg as well in case there is a concern from allergy. Better you discuss with a good Ped Case based discussion on colic, reflux and cow's milk protein intolerance.
