A. Hello mom when exclusively breast feeding it would be ideal to feed on demand .. as the quantity and quality of the feed are difficult to be measured . You can give the feed as much the baby is able to take comfortably without been forced and as the case is different here .. a gap of 1 to 3 depending on the feed can be maintained . Also keep a track of the baby weight gain
