Till what age should I breastfeed my baby?
Ideally, the infants should be exclusively breastfed for 6 months. During Complementary feeding to be started at 6 months of age and breastfeeding to be continued up to the minimum age of 2 years.
How do I know my baby is getting enough breast milk?
The vast majority of women — about 95% — make enough milk if they receive early support because milk supply is established in the first 3 to 4 weeks. Most babies only need between 50 – 60ml of milk in the early months. What makes it tricky is that a fussy baby isn’t always hungry, but most babies like to suck and will suck as long as you let them. That doesn’t mean that they need or even necessarily want to eat, and it is possible to get sore nipples and even overfeed.
Some babies tend to fall asleep during nursing. Tickling or holding their hand during a feeding session can keep them on task. Getting a weight check can be reassuring if there are doubts about intake.
