How often do you breastfeed your newborn baby

Breastfeeding on demand is recommended for newborn babies, and babies can eat when they are hungry, usually every 2.5 to 3 hours. For newborn babies, milk should be started as early as possible around 15 minutes to 2 hours after delivery, and can be breastfed on demand. Babies will cry when they are hungry, so you can try to breastfeed them, and a baby who eats milk well and stops crying indicates that he or she is hungry. The World Health Organization recommends that newborns be breastfed 8 to 10 times a day, that is, every 2.5 to 3 hours to feed, each feeding time lasts 15 to 20 minutes, but this is not strictly regulated, mothers need to carefully observe the baby’s individual needs, so as to make adjustments to the time and frequency of breastfeeding. Before each breastfeeding, the mother should make some clean preparations, such as cleaning the nipples, hot towels on the breasts, etc. The best feeding position is sitting, the body is in a relaxed state, holding the baby in her arms and putting her head and shoulders on the mother’s side of the breastfeeding, bending the elbows and the body upward, so the child can try to suck the empty side of the breast, and then breastfeeding on the other side of the breast. The baby needs to be burped after breastfeeding, hold the baby vertically and pat the back to expel the air from the baby’s gastrointestinal tract to minimize milk spillage.
