Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My infant is one month five days old. My wife gets drained of feeding the baby every two hours, but the baby remains hungry. Kindly help.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hello,

Welcome to iclinq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I advise you to follow the below-mentioned suggestions:

  1. Consult a pediatrician to learn how to feed your baby.
  2. Squeeze your breast, express your milk in a bowl, and feed your baby with a spoon, as your baby is too little to suck your breast.
  3. Do not worry as your baby will learn to suck your breast with time.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
