In general: In general, you should breast feed your newborn baby every 2 to 3 hours for about 15-20 minutes on a side. Your baby's breast feeding will slow when they start taking solid food at around 5 months of age.

Breast feeding: Depending on the age of your baby on average 8-10 feeds in 24 hours should be enough. An adequate feeding is one when you feel complete emptying and your your baby acts satisfied . As long as your baby is following the expected growth parameters you should not be concerned

Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding frequency depends on the age of the child. Every 2-3 hours is pretty typical and as the baby gets older it can be spaced out to every four hours. As long as the baby is growing well and having lots of wet diapers you can be confident that the baby is getting enough to eat.
