No: Alimentation to babies is “ on demand” that means that whenever the baby asks and the amount the baby wants. In terms of how often you should feed baby could be every 2-3 hours or 8 to 12 times a day at the beginning, The baby’s stomach gets bigger and can hold more milk at a time as time passes. Just verify that the baby is eating well and do not loses weight.
