Newborns can eat the right amount of milk according to their weight. Because the stomach capacity of newborns is still very small in the first week, the following data are for mothers' reference only: on the first day of birth, the milk quantity on the second day is 5-7ml (about 1 teaspoon), and on the third day, the milk quantity is 10- 13ml (about 2 teaspoons). When the milk quantity is 36-46ml (equivalent to the size of table tennis) on the fifth day, 43-57ml (equivalent to the size of an egg) on the sixth day, 56ml-75ml on the seventh day and 65ml-85ml after the first week, the baby's weight will be "reduced" in different degrees. At this time, you can feed according to your baby's weight.

How often do newborns breastfeed?

Breastfeeding, gastric emptying time is 2~3 hours; Feeding milk powder for 3-4 hours; Water is 1~2 hours. Newborns need to be fed/kloc-0 every 2.5 ~ 3 hours; In a few days, the interval can be longer, as long as it does not exceed 4 hours, it is no problem, and it is fed 6 ~ 8 times a day. (Of course, this is only the suggested time. Newborn babies advocate on-demand feeding, that is, babies are fed when they are hungry, especially breast-fed babies. Because breast milk is digested faster and the stomach capacity of newborns is small, it is normal for newborns to be hungry faster. Novice mothers should never be dogmatic in the face of this problem. )
