Breastfeeding - Feed your Baby

Babies need to eat often — every 90 minutes to two hours. Feed your
baby when she begins to show signs of hunger, such as rooting or sucking
on her lips, fingers or fist. Try to feed her before she cries. Feeding your
baby often won’t spoil her. It will help you learn to become more aware of
your baby’s needs.


Don’t limit feeding times. Babies need different amounts of food at different
times of the day, just as grown people do.
Relax! Take your time. The more you nurse your baby, the more milk you
will have. Do not give your baby formula or water. If you do, you will make
less milk. If you think you do not have enough
