A member asked:
My milk just came in a and my newborn (3 days old) wants to nurse every 30 min?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try not to confuse: Wanting to suck with being hungry.The lips are wired with pleasure sensors that babies love to stimulate, they help them learn to latch & feed before they ever know to be hungry. After 10min feed per side baby has all s/he needs from the breast & longer is just nurturing, lip stimulation.
