Frequency of Feedings (Schedules)

• Babies mainly need to be fed when they are hungry. If they are fussy and more than 2 hours have passed since the last feeding, they usually need to be fed. The following are some guidelines:
  • From birth to 3 months of age, feed every 2 to 3 hours
  • From 3 to 9 months of age, feed every 3 to 4 hours
  • Infants usually set their own schedule by 1 to 2 months of age
