How often?

Question

My mom thinks it's weird that my three week old baby nurses about every two hours during the day. Is that normal? She nurses for 10-20 minutes each time.

Answer

Very normal. Feeding on demand is best. Sometimes baby wants more often, sometimes not.

Answer

My baby is now almost 4 months and still nurses every 2 hours through the day. Breastmilk is easily digested so it's normal

Answer

Thank you everyone! My mother was making me feel like something was wrong.

Answer

My baby is ten weeks and he nurses every two hours, sometimes every hour. From week 1-6 I lived on the couch. He nursed every 30 minutes. I literally just had a quick bathroom break before he needed to eat again. My midwife said it's totally normal.

Answer

Very very normal!! Their bellies are still small and breastmilk digests faster than formula.
