Question
Lately, the baby has been frequently crying and not very willing to eat. How long does it usually take for a baby to feed on milk?
Answer
Generally speaking, if the mother’s breast milk is sufficient, the baby can be full in about 5 to 20 minutes of feeding. Since the baby doesn’t eat much each time, it will get hungry quickly and need to be fed again. However, as the baby grows older, its appetite increases, and it won’t need to feed as frequently.
