Lately, I’ve found a lot of parents (new or repeat), wondering or misinformed on how often your newborn should be fed. 🤱🏾🍼

Most newborns who are formula-fed feed every 2 to 3 hours. 🍼 On average, a breastfed newborn eats approximately every 2 to 3 hours around the clock. 🤱🏾That’s about 8 to 12 times in a 24-hour period. As they get bigger and their tummies can hold more milk they usually eat every 3 to 4 hours.

And if your baby is very young, or having problems gaining weight, you shouldn’t go too long without feeding, even if it means waking your baby.

Despite what you might think, crying is a late sign of hunger. You should give a feeding before your baby gets so hungry that he or she gets upset and becomes difficult to calm down. 🌼🌸🌺
