After birth, babies need to be fed with milk, and at this time, they cannot digest other foods. Mothers attach great importance to the feeding of their children and are always afraid that their babies will go hungry. Due to the small stomach capacity of the baby, it is necessary to breastfeed regularly. So, how many hours should a baby who is not yet one month old be fed with milk?
For infants who are not yet one month old, the specific number of hours they need to be breastfed depends on the feeding situation. Babies who are breastfed or formula fed have different feeding times. If it is to breastfeed the baby, the mother can feed the baby according to their needs, that is, when the child is hungry and needs to be breastfed, they should be breastfed without considering the issue of interval time.
If the mother is feeding the baby formula for some special reasons, usually for infants who are not one month old, they need to be fed every 3-4 hours. And parents should be aware that babies who are breastfed do not need to be fed water because breast milk contains sufficient water to meet their water needs. Children who consume formula milk need to be given water once between feedings.
Each baby's situation is different, so the interval between feedings is also different. Therefore, the frequency of feedings should be determined based on the baby's condition. Due to the long sleep time of the baby, the mother can wake up the baby to breastfeed when it's time.
