A. thank you for reaching out to us with your question only for the first three months required to feed Once every two hours however once a baby complete 3 months you will notice that the gap between the two feeding sessions increases and the time that you baby consumes milk will also reduce because they become very efficient so after 3 months it will be at a gap of every 3 hours for about 5 to 7 minutes
