A. dear feeding frequency varies from baby to baby so feed baby on demand whenever baby wants and how much baby wants let baby sleep with you to promote uninterrupted breastfeeding if baby is passing urine six to eight times in 24 hours is active alert and gaining adequate weight at least 500 gram per month then feeding is sufficient
