A newborn should be put to the breast at least every 2 to 3 hours, and he or she should nurse for at least 10 minutes on each side.This will help to ensure that the baby is getting enough breast milk at each feeding, and it will also allow enough time to stimulate your body to build up your milk supply.
After that, a nursing baby may want to nurse more often during a growth spurt, but will likely be breastfeeding about: 1  7 to 8 times a day by 3 to 4 months of age. 2  5 to 7 times a day by 5 to 6 months of age. 3  4 to 6 times a day between 7 and 12 months of age.
