The baby is 4 months old and drinks very less milk, during feeding she drinks for only 2-3 minutes and after that for many hours she doesn't drink. Just keep on licking her finger the whole day. And doesn't feel hungry.

Hello, For a baby of 4 month age during breast feeding, adequate amount of milk can be taken by the baby in just a few minutes. For knowing if your breast feed is adequate for the baby, the best markers are adequate weight gain and passing urine at least 4-5 times in full 24 hrs.
