Mom of a 3 yr 11 m old boy3 years ago

Q.

#AskTheExpert I have a 4 months old baby and he used to take milk for every 2 hours but from few days he started taking milk for 3 or 4 hours. I'm concerned about his diet. This was started since I tested positive for covid. Please suggest on this.

A. hi dear It is normal for babies to “cluster feed,” meaning they feed several times close together and then go several hours without feeding. During the first days of life, normal, healthy newborns may breastfeed every hour or several times in one hour, especially during the evening and nighttime hours.
