how often to feed newborn

I counted from the start of the last feed (if she switches side I will take the start time of the side that she last fed on before being put down), but so far my baby has been waking up before the time is up. Hang in there and don't be too stressed! Anyway there is some room to play with if you're using 3h, my dr told me the max I should wait is 4h 😄

It will make you stressful to keep checking the time all the time. I was very stressed in my first month, until my milk supply was very low (need to top up with formula). After first month passed, I fed my baby on demand. Whenever baby cried at night, then latch. I realised my supply was enough for her and we totally stopped fm.

I feed my son on demand . He will automatic cry at night . Change his diapers and feed him , burp him . Then sleep . Unless very very very long he nvr demand milk . Then wake him up to feed him

my will auto cry every 2 hrs when nb. keeping track no way too tiring..dun even have time to express n feed her and sleep..even if u keep track they wouldn't follow schedule

Hi mama, Please feed on demand and don’t watch the clock. Baby will usually give you cues which I’ve attached. May I ask how you’ve chosen to feed baby please?

I have never followed the clock. On the day we were discharged, baby slept so much that she didnt really eat. Only when she is hungry then we feed..

I counted every 3 hours I.e from start of feeding and not end of feeding

feed by demand, don't really follow the 2/3 hours rule

I feed on demand. I don't follow the timing

feed on demand or around 8 times per day
