Other Things to Look For
The stomach of a 4-month-old baby is bigger than before, so the frequency of breastfeeding will be reduced. Once you suckle, he will fill his stomach until it's full. To fulfill the baby's needs naturally, the nutrients in your breast milk will also turn into more fat and minerals.
Some parents have started giving solid food to 4-month-old babies or even before, but the baby should still get exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of his life. Providing complementary breastfeeding food too early can make the risk of allergies higher and your baby not getting optimal benefits from Breast Milk nutrition
In addition, at this age, when breastfeeding, his attention will be more often divided by things around him, such as the voice of his brother, the sound of TV, or the person who comes. To minimize this, it's good to breastfeed in a quiet room.
