Breast feeding
My baby is 4 months old and takes breast milk for 5 mins most of the times from past 6 days( he removes his face off and not showing much interest).This makes me worry as he was taking 30 mins earlier.
He is active, sleeps well and passes urine normally and does poo once a day as usual.
On September 20 his weight was checked and it was 5.3 kg ( birth weight 3kg). Doctor said his weight is good and asked me to continue ebf. After his checkup he stated having for 5 mins and now I haven't checked weight.
Should I visit Doctor?
should I start weaning ?
Is his weight gain normal?

Yes it’s absolutely normal. Start with weaning only after 5.5-6 mknths of age. Don't rush
