how often should you fee

Most newborns feed every 3-4 hours, however some may need to feed as often as every two hours. Expect to feed at least eight times in a 24 hour period. During growth periods, your baby may need to feed more than usual. As formula is slower to digest than breast milk, formula fed babies generally go longer between feeds. Some parent’s decide to feed their newborns are regular intervals to help their baby get on a schedule to keep baby fed and avoid meltdowns due to hunger.
