Patient's question:
My baby is 3 months old. Every time I feed the baby, they take a short nap and then start crying again. Is it because they're not eating enough? I want to ask how many milliliters of breast milk can a baby have in one feeding?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question: Generally, it's better to feed the baby according to their needs. Some babies eat until they are 90% full, and after the first 100 days, their appetite will become more regular. Usually, when the baby is full, they will fall asleep quietly. They eat every two or three hours. If the baby is breastfed more than 6-8 times a day, it's not on a fixed schedule, so feeding according to their needs is best. Babies get hungry quickly, so there's no need for fixed times or places.
