He ask for feed every 1 and half hour when he is awake but at night generally wake up only two times till morning. Does feedings last for 40 to 45 min is low milk supply sign? Why does he is hungry just in 1 n half hour? However my both breasts leaks milk most of the times.

1. U have to give feed completely on both sides then only baby will sleep comfortably for 2-3hrs
But this usually doesn't happen. Baby usually stops feeding after 15-20 min of intake. That's the reasn for frequent feeds.
Next Steps
try to give feed for prolonged period .
Health Tips
