A. mostly babies use to duck longer to comfort themselves. Feeding two to three hourly initially till your baby learn to latch.afyer than feeding the baby on demand i.e. whenever your baby is hungry. Crying, putting fingers in the mouth, or making sucking noises convey that the baby is hungry. A newborn baby needs to be fed every couple of hours.
