Patient's question:
Condition Description: From the 10th day of birth to now {two months}, always eating 60 ml, and breastfeeding at other times. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Have not asked how much to eat. Desired help: Hope to understand.Doctor's answer:
Generally, when the baby suckles each breast for 5 minutes, they have consumed about 80% of the milk. Around 10 minutes, they can extract nearly 90% of the milk. After being full (about 5 to 10 minutes later), the little one may suckle easily for a while to self-soothe, as all their needs are met. Then, the child will release the nipple and fall asleep quietly or play, usually taking a total of 15 to 20 minutes. Some babies who nurse more slowly may need about 30 minutes per feeding, which is also a normal phenomenon. The solution is to let them suckle fully to ensure they get enough milk. Additionally, when the baby has finished nursing on one side or if swallowing sounds stop, it’s important to switch to the other side promptly.
