Shaista TarannumMom of a 16 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. I baby is passing urine 10 to 12 times and is sleeping well and is not very cranky it means me is sufficient for the baby.
From birth to 15 days baby needs 10-12 feeds per day.
From 15 days to 2 months : switch to demand feeding. before you plan the next feed watch out for feeding cues like moving lips, making suckling movements, rooting, getting agitated and finally crying. Feed every 2-3 hrs for 25-45 min per feed. If baby sleeps awaken him to complete it.
From 2 months to 6 months: 8-10 feeds per day. Each feed for 15-25 min. Your baby's tummy is growing and can hold more milk. Baby can feed faster also now. At this age baby will be more playful so try and feed in a quiet room to encourage the baby to complete the feed.
At 6 months plus : Start with one semi solid meal at a time. This means that you will be eliminating only one breast feed at a time as BM is still the chief source of nutrition to the baby.
At 9 months plus 50% of the nutrition must be from solids and the remaining 50% from breast milk.
At 12 months plus baby must have 4-5 solids meals and the rest should be breast milk.
