Glaucoma results from high pressure inside the eye that causes damage to the optic nerve. This condition typically happens slowly, progressing over a number of years. Doctors detect glaucoma by examining the back of the eye and measuring the intraocular pressure.
You can breastfeed your baby for as long as you want. When you stop breastfeeding, itâs called weaning your baby. Some babies begin weaning on their own between 6 and 12 months as they start eating solid food and become more active. Weaning is a slow process that doesn't happen in a few days.
Excessively Long Feedings. During the first few day of breastfeeding, it's not uncommon for a baby to nurse for longer periods of time, or to nurse very frequently. However, by the 5th day, your milk supply should increase and your child should be able to get all the breast milk he needs within 45 minutes. If your baby is actively sucking at your breast for over 45 minutes at each feeding, it could mean that he is not getting enough milk.
