Lactation problems
.Since my child is a premature baby I can only breastfeed him for 15 mins post which I give him expressed breast milk through katori chamach. Inhave the following questions: How much milk should I be able to express in between feedings Also since he is one month old I feel he asks for feed after every one and a half hour is it normal? How do I figure out if I am producing enough milk. How much expressed milk would my baby need per feeding after 15 mins of breastfeed.

There is no perfect measure of how much milk they require .. it all depends on their demand.
