Most breastfed babies thrive on being fed on demand, especially during the early newborn days. It’s crucial to feed your baby at least every 3 hours or wake them to eat until they regain their birth weight. Once they reach their birth weight, you can follow their cues for feeding times. Typically, breastfed babies will eat 8-10 times a day throughout their breastfeeding journey, though feeding sessions will become more efficient and shorter as they grow older. During periods of cluster feeding or growth spurts, your baby might eat more frequently, which is completely normal.
