A member asked:
Is it okay to breastfeed my 5week old baby every hour. ?he seems to be so hungry and wakes up after 30min. and wants to feed again.

Not fed enough: or thirsty, you can supplement with formula milk, or if you don't want so, check if your baby gets enough of your breast milk, as needed feeding even every hour isn't a problem if the baby is healthy and no other symptom
