#AskTheExpert My baby is taking more than an hour for a feed..Does that mean my milk supply is low?

A. Newborn babies should breastfeed 8–12 times per day for about the first month. ... In the first few weeks of life, breastfeeding should be "on demand" (when your baby is hungry), which is about every 1-1/2 to 3 hours. As newborns get older, they'll nurse less often, and may have a more predictable schedule.
