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.
Women are often given very specific instructions on how long and how often to breastfeed their babies. In the hospital you may have been advised to feed your baby for ten minutes on the first breast and then ten minutes on the other breast and to do this every 2 to 3 hours. During your babyâs first few days of life, itâs important to get off to a good start with breastfeeding.
