Be sure to breastfeed on demand at least every 2-3 hours or 8-10 times in a 24 hour period.

In order for your baby to grow adequately, your baby needs 10 to 20 kcal/kilogram daily.

Your baby will consistently gain weight at each health care provider visit if you are feeding every 3-4 hours.

If you are breastfeeding you should also feed your baby water to be sure your baby does not become dehydrated.
