Frequency of Feedings to bring in the milk supply

• Every 1½ to 3 hours for the first month (8 to 12 times/day).
• During the day, wake your baby up if more than 3 hours have passed since the last feeding.
• During the night, wake your baby if more than 4 hours pass without a feeding.
• After 1 month of age, allow your baby to sleep longer. If your baby is gaining weight well, feed on demand and do not awaken for feedings.
