Question 8

what should my baby's feeding schedule be?

Accepted Answer

Every 4 hours: New babies eat whenever they feel like. As the newborn grows and approaches 6-8 weeks of age, he/she will feed about every 4 hours. As he/she continues to grow to 6 months of age, solids can be given morn, noon and evening with formula every 4 to 6 hours during the day. After 6 months of age, most babies should be sleeping through the night and not waking up for food or drink.

Why?: Most babies fall asleep when they are done feeding.  The rare baby who is too weak to feed properly really needs to be managed by a pediatrician.

Question 10

when will my baby be ready to feed herself?

Accepted Answer

6-9 months: Babies are usually ready for large "teething" biscuits around 6 months old, and can also practice with sippy cups at this age.
