Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children3 years agoA. Babies have very small tummies. So at a time they can hold only a small amount of feed. So their feeding pattern will be like less amount of milk at more frequent intervals like every two hours. This will gradually increase as the baby grows older. After few months they will feed more at one go and the time gap between feeds will also increase. Your baby will generally know how much he or she wants and turn away from the breast or show some resistance which u should note and stop feeding. Follow baby's lead. After feeds burp the baby well. If the baby had over feeding then he or she may spit up or vomit which can indicate you that the baby is taking more than needed milk. On an average your baby should be peeing anywhere between six to ten times a day which means the baby is taking feeds properly.
