A. hii Your baby likes to feed often. Breast milk is digested quickly and your baby will want to nurse often. This does not mean that you are not producing adequate milk. Most babies will breastfeed at 1.5 to two-hour intervals or will have at least 8 to 12 feeds in 24 hours. Your breasts will feel softer and emptier after each feed. You can watch your baby swallow while feeding. Your baby will want to come off the breast on his own after he is done feeding. Your baby will pass urine at least eight times in 24 hours.
