How often to feed newborn?

Question

I formula feed and I was wondering how often at 6 weeks did everyone feed their baby during the day? I was feeding him every 3 hours but I was wondering if I should change it to every 4 hours since he’s getting a little bigger and might be able to handle the extra hour now.

Answer

Just feed when he shows cues for hunger. That's what I did from newborn on. She kept herself on a good feed schedule and eventually she spaced her feeds out good on her own

Answer

At this age you should just feed on demand . As they get older they’ll develop a schedule and be able to go longer periods of time
