Patient's question:
A 9-day-old baby, breastfed, sometimes eats for 40 minutes, but gets hungry again after 10 minutes, intermittently wanting to eat for over an hour. Today, they actually ate for over two hours before sleeping.Doctor's answer:
The situation you described is still quite normal. It is mainly caused by the baby possibly not being hungry enough and not being very active in feeding. In this case, it is absolutely essential not to add formula milk, as it may affect breastfeeding. There is no need to change the baby's formula. However, if feeding takes too long—once an hour is too long—suggest limiting it to within 30 minutes. If it takes longer, do not let the baby continue feeding.
