there could be reasons for baby sleeping after 5-10 mins,,,i was not replying your prev queries so i am not aware of your health conditions or milk supply,,but here is the possibilities :

1.your milk supply is good, baby feels full in 5-10mins,,if so, by the end of week, his wght gain should be considered and should be normal !

2. your milk supply is very less, baby feel frustrated/tired of sucking so leaves the nipples in 5-10mins,,this will reflect in his wght gain by the end of the week,,your baby wont gain if he is not getting enough from you.
i saw it mentioned that baby gained 200grams,,well in first 15days expect wght loss upto 10%,,but then from next week onwards,,i expect him to grow good/increase per week.
birthwght is 2.5kgs,current wght i assume is 2.7kgs(considering only 200grams wght gain which is mentioned in the post) at 20days,,which is okay..not negative ! so still you can keep trying !!!!!!

3. 1month old sleeping and feeding schedule is as below,please go thru it,,see if it helps you to judge how much your baby needs and whether or not he is actually gettng that much either from formula or breastmilk :

try to breastfeed your baby as often as required,you still have time and a chance,,your baby wght is doing ok...,it will make her habituate to breast,,and avoid offerng bottle.

to wean her back to breast,,make sure your milk supply is exceptionally high ! this will ensure successful weaning back to breast !

if not, keep trying,i would say,,its been just a month,,dont decide your milk supply right now,,keep pumping regularly,,check my links to other members about increasing bm..keep yourself stressfree,,remember tired mom means hungry baby,,if you want to breastfeed.

try your best, but remember onething that dont reach up to the level where your baby growth is compromised..your baby is not even 1 month, which means, right now he needs good milk intakes. dont compromise on that.

offer your breasts first, and as soon as you feel the sucking gettng slow, give him bottle,,this will take care of both the things,,,
same case of yours,,i had answerd some days back,,see if it helps you :

if the problem continues further and you see wght going constant/i repeat constant..and does not increase at all,,, and by then even if pumping and offering bottle or your milk supply is not good enough after all your best tries,,be ready to offer formula !

i too had to give my baby formula for 1 month when i got viral attack ! i had to throw that milk but continue pumping just to maintain my supply !!!!! wat to do !

no guilt works,,mother should not be guilty of feeding her child,,may it be formula or bm,...

down the line,,you can not feel sorry or feel guilty about the things tht are not in your control,,stop running behind something that is not in your reach...

trying hard to achieve something shows your commitment and love for your child,,,,thats true,i respect it,, but feeling guilty for something that is out of reach,,is not advisable and no way at the cost of baby hunger !

so stop feeling guilty about bottles..you are still at better position,,many women are not able to offer bm even for 5min,,the supply is that low and thr kids are healthy enough,,because thr moms didnt cry for BM supply ! they feed thr babies good formula, as required and keep smiling,,,
remember your artificial smile, a baby can easily make out,,your child looks upon your face to see hows mom doing,,,with that looks he will grow !so make sure to give him your best looks,,and its only possible when you are out of ne guilts and pressures...

a healthy mom ensures healthy growth of baby,,it does not matter what she feeds to her child ! so stop feeling guilty about bottle feeding,,in turn you are getting into the loop of never ending guilt,,which will just make your life miserable ! so stop thinking about it, and get out of it,,go by whats current and right now your baby wght and proper growth is a must.
so take care and good luck to you.

prao replied. Hi RN
I havent read your original post or all of the replies to it but hope this helps..
My daughter used to feed for abt 20 to 25 mins during her first few weeks, when she was abt a month old it suddenly dropped down to abt 5 mins per feed eventhough I had enough milk. Her doc thought she may be feeling full bcoz of gas and asked us to try Colic aid. Within a few days of starting this her feeding returned to normal (20 to 30 mins per feed) I used colic aid ( 3 ml per day) till she was 4 months old and then discontinued it slowly.
Just sharing my exp here, \" DO NOT\" give colic aid or any other medicine without checking with your doc first

mom replied. Thanks for helping out RN. Hope this answers her qs.
