By 1 to 2 months of age, a breastfed baby will probably nurse 7-9 times a day. Before your milk supply is established, breastfeeding should be on demand (when your baby is hungry), which is generally every 1Â½ to 3 hours. As newborns get older, they'll nurse less often, and may develop a more reliable schedule.
At 4 to 6 months, milk is still your baby's main source of nutrition. Your baby grows more in his first six months than he will at any other time. For the first four to six months, breast milk or formula fuels his growth. Starting between 4 and 6 months of age, most babies begin eating solid foods as well. Milk should still provide the bulk of his calorie intake at this age, which should equal approximately 50 to 55 calories per pound of body weight, according to the Merck Manual.
