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.
Also, most babies need to breastfeed at least 8 times every 24 hours, although in the early weeks it is rarely at regular intervals. Newborns tend to cluster nurse, meaning they tend to bunch their feedings together at certain times of the day (often evenings) and take one longer sleep stretch of about 4 to 5 hours.
