Question 1

what occurs if a newborn drank soda?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Most would become gassy from the carbonation release and some would become hyper from the caffeine in the soda. Otherwise the baby will process the material like any other fluid.

Question 2

how long can a newborn feed up to?

Accepted Answer

You decide: Newborns get the majority of their feeding in the first 5-10 minutes of the feeding, and the rest of the time after that is just sucking/suckling time for pleasure and comfort. If you have  time and nipples are not too sore, it's fie to let them do this a couple of times a day. If your nipples are very sore, or you are pressed for time, the 10 minutes is long enough to get the nutrition they need.

Question 3

what do i need for newborn to feed it?

Accepted Answer

Breast: Breast milk is the best choice to feed a child.

Question 4

not sure how to formula feed a newborn?

Accepted Answer

1-2 ounces/hr: 3-4 in about 2-4wks---use enfamil or similac initially and feeding should last 10-15mins.

Question 5

how often should i feed my newborn baby?

Accepted Answer

Wide range of normal: There is a wide range of normal feeding times, but babies at this age should certainly go no longer than 4 hours between feedings. Most feed every 2-3 hours.  The key is that your baby is having 4-6 wet diapers per day which suggests that they are well hydrated. I would discuss with your pediatrician.

Question 6

what is the best schedule for feeding a newborn?

Accepted Answer

No schedule: In general, newborns wili feed every 1.5 to 3 hours, however, it's much better to tune into your newborn's hunger cues than to put her on a set schedule. Newborns regulate their own feeding quite well, so watch your baby and not the clock. Here are some hunger signs to look out for: waking, looking alert, lip smacking, sucking sounds, and turning towards breast. Crying is a late hunger signal.

Question 7

how many oz. should a newborn have at one feeding?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends on child'sweight and how many times a day you feed him/her. Usually it starts from 2-3 oz evry 2.5-3 hrs.

Question 8

is it normal for my newborn to be feeding all the time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Many newborns will feed, on demand, every 1-2 hours, especially if breastfeeding.

Question 9

please give advice on how often to feed a newborn baby?

Accepted Answer

Create a pattern: I find babies feed the best after a good nap, you can then change & play with them for a time before they tire, then rest them for two hours & do it again.Do this all day to get in ~ 7 feeds, then put them down at 11 or so & let them get you up once in the night. Feed/change &settle them again, & start the day over.This works out to about every 3h in day & 4-6 at night.

Question 10

i'd really like to know how often should a newborn feed?

Accepted Answer

It depends : Newborn are only being fed with milk
so it depends on whether you are breast feeding or formula feeding
formula fed babies usually feed every three or four hours during the day and once or twice during night..Many newborn need 8 to 12 feedings a day 
breast fed babies can also be fed on demand till milk production is plenty, than they can be on a schedule if possible untill you start with stage one.
