Patient's question:
Will the child refuse to breastfeed after less than 20 minutes of feeding, and then get hungry later? I want to use a breast pump to extract the milk and feed it to the child so that I can know the amount. Is this a good idea? The child was born on the 27th.Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to explain your question. According to your description, the normal duration for a baby to breastfeed is usually around 20 minutes. To carefully observe whether the baby is well-fed through breastfeeding, it is mainly to observe the baby's weight gain and whether they take a nap after feeding. If the baby falls asleep quietly after feeding, you can breastfeed them as needed. It is best not to use a milk pump to extract and feed the baby, as this is not advisable. The above is my suggestion for this question. I hope it helps you, and I wish you a speedy recovery!
