Some basics: The average infant will take about their weight in kg as ounces (3kg=3oz) every 3-4 hrs with some variation. Feeding is the 1st nurturing process they learn & many want to suckle more for nurturing than feeding. Pacifiers may work as well when they want to suckle after a feed. As long as the kid is robust at feeds & filling out they are getting enough.
