Patient's question:
These days, I might add formula milk only 1 to 2 times a day. I've always felt that my breast milk isn't enough. If I use a breast pump, I can pump about 100 milliliters each time, and I do it 5 times a day. How many minutes should a two-month-old baby breastfeed?Doctor's answer:
The baby's stomach capacity is about 80 milliliters at 2 months, so they can take this amount of milk at most per feeding. However, the daily intake mainly depends on the baby's energy needs, so you can give the mother more multivitamin tablets or nutritious foods. By 3 months, you can start giving the baby more other prepared foods. Generally, current feeding recommendations suggest feeding on demand. The main principle is to feed the baby when they are hungry and stop when they are full and comfortable.
