Is it normal for babies to sleep during breastfeeding?

Hi momshies, FTM here baby boy via CS. 4kg si baby and at first few days nag bottle feed ako sakanya ng formula kasi hirap mag breastfeed. Pero now, running 2 weeks and 4 days na sya mix na kami but I'm trying to do more breastfeeding. I am just concerned kasi i can't tell if nabubusog na ba si baby because of the ff: * During pump, madalang ako maka 2 oz both breast na po sya. * Natutulog si baby during latch within 3 to 4 minutes, patigil tigil yung inom nya parang nag papause pero di nya nilelet go so ako na nagtatanggal lalo kapag di na sya nagalaw. * Nakaka 4 to 5 latch or more na kami within an hour, makakatulog ng ilang minutes then iiyak. Kahit napa burp na. I need some tips if ganito rin ba naeexperience nyo sa babies nyo. Next appointment ni baby sa pedia is next month pa, i am just paranoid lalo na pag umiiyak sya but my husband keeps on reminding me that our baby is not sick (No need mag ER) and we # just need time to figure him out. Help mga mommies.

Hi mommy! All your concerns are normal. Here are my inputs po mii. - Pumped milk volume would matter if before and after latch ka po nagpump. If before latching, 2oz is normal sa postpartum age nyo and if after latching naman po, marami na ang 2oz. - Its normal to some babies to fall asleep while breastfeeding. Meaning, they are full and comfortable. Medyo di pa din kalakihan yung tummy size nila so frequent yung paghingi nila ng milk. Breastmilk is easy to digest din po mommy compared to formula kaya mas frequent sila hihingi ng milk. I hope it helps. You're doing great, mommy. 😉
