There is no clear feeding time, the child is hungry, will naturally cry, this time it is necessary to feed, this is the doctor recommended on-demand feeding, just born is generally about 2-3 hours, and the time may be gradually extended later.

This depends on the amount of food the child eats, some children have a large appetite, eat a lot at a time, and the interval is a little longer. Some children have a small appetite, so the interval is a little shorter.

In fact, when a child is hungry, he will also find milk to drink, and he can manage it for 2 to 3 hours each time he is full!

Breastfeeding for a few hours needs to be based on the baby's age and whether the milk is sufficient, divided into newborns, newborns from 2 to 6 months, and premature infants, and the specific analysis is as follows:

1. Newborns.

If the newborn is breastfeeding, as long as the mother's milk secretion is normal, there is generally no special time limit, and the baby needs to be breastfed on demand, and the baby needs to change the diaper and wash hands and feed in time after waking up.

Newborns up to 6 months of age.

If it is a newborn after the full month, but the baby is relatively young, less than 6 months old, it is generally necessary to feed every 2 to 3 hours. From the beginning of 4 months of age, the baby needs to add complementary food appropriately.

3. Premature infants.

Premature babies are breastfed for a short time and need to eat smaller, more frequent meals. After the baby wakes up, it needs to be breastfed in time to avoid affecting the healthy development of the baby. Mothers should pay attention to a balanced and nutritious diet, and they should be tired to ensure sufficient milk.

When breastfeeding, it is necessary to look at the baby's urine output, stool, etc., to determine whether the breast milk can meet the baby's needs.

Duration of breastfeeding

According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), for optimal growth, development and health, infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life, i.e. only breast milk. "Exclusive breastfeeding" is defined as not being fed any food or drink other than breast milk, not even water. However, babies are allowed to take drops and syrups (vitamins, minerals, and medications).

Breast milk is the ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants; It is an integral part of the reproductive process and has an important impact on the health of the mother.

The World Health Organization recommends that infants begin receiving complementary foods in addition to breast milk at 6 months of age (180 days). Food should be appropriate, meaning that it should provide enough energy, protein and micronutrients to meet the nutritional needs of the child's growth. The transition from exclusive breastfeeding to getting the most out of your family's food is a very fragile time.

Therefore, it is important for infants to have access to appropriate, adequate and safe complementary foods in order to ensure a proper transition from the breastfeeding phase to full utilization of household foods.

Refer to the above: Health - Breastfeeding every few hours and feeding every few hours.

The newborn baby must be fed on demand, the baby will cry when he is hungry, and he will be fed when he cries, at this time the frequency of the baby drinking milk is relatively high, and each time he can't drink much before falling asleep again, the baby can drink as much as he wants, do not force the baby to drink milk, but also feed the baby according to the baby's needs, do not control the time.

After the full moon baby, you can drink milk once every 3 hours, about 8 times a day, and you can't interrupt at night, but you don't need to wake up the baby at night to feed, the baby will naturally ask to drink milk when he is hungry, so wait for the baby to cry and then feed on the line, but the baby at this time still needs to drink milk at night.

Breastfeeding advocates breastfeeding on demand, but it should be noted that it does not mean that the child is hungry when he cries, it is necessary to observe what is the situation when the child is crying, whether there is a feeling of hunger, sometimes he is not hungry when he cries, it may also be that the urine is wet or urinating, and the child needs to change diapers and cry.
