According to the Department of Health: 'Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of a baby's life. Beyond this stage, breastfeeding should continue for as long as the mother and baby wish.'.
Once breastfeeding is established, exclusively breastfed babies who are 1 to 6 months old take in between 19 and 30 ounces of breastmilk each day. If you breastfeed your baby eight times a day, your baby will get around 3 ounces per feeding.But every baby is different. If breastfeeding hurts, your baby may be sucking on only the nipple, and not also on the areola (the darker skin around the nipple). 2  Gently break your baby's suction to your breast by placing a clean finger in the corner of your baby's mouth. 3  Then try again to get your baby to latch on.
