Motherhood: Breastfeeding Questions & Answers
Q. How often should a newborn be nursed?
A. You should nurse a newborn no less than 8 times a day, depending
upon how long he sleeps between feedings at night. If he can go four
hours between feedings, then you will probably feed him twice between
11pm and 7am. If you feed him right before he goes to bed, then you
may only have to get up one time during the night.
