A. The feeding frequency of an infant can vary depending on their age, weight, and individual needs. However, as a general guideline, a newborn baby typically needs to feed every 2-3 hours, or at least 8-12 times in a 24-hour period. As the baby grows older, the time between feeds may increase, and the number of feeds per day may decrease. At two months of age, it is recommended that you feed your baby on demand, whenever they are hungry, rather than strictly adhering to a set number of feedings per day. Most babies at this age tend to feed around 6-8 times per day, and may have longer periods of sleep at night without needing to feed. It is important to pay attention to your baby's hunger cues, such as rooting, mouthing, sucking motions, or crying, and feed them when they signal that they are hungry. You should also monitor your baby's weight gain and diapers to ensure that they are getting enough milk. If you have any concerns about your baby's feeding habits or growth, it is always a good idea to speak with your pediatrician.

A. The correct pattern is to feed the child is only only on demand and that is what you should go ahead with which is why there is no fixed number of feed that you should be giving to the child it’s going to be completely dependent on to the appetite and want of your child
