Question

How much milk should a 10-day-old baby drink in a day? How should I schedule the feeding? Thank you!

Answer

How to regulate the feeding situation of newborns. Guidance: Hello, newborns are fed on demand, without a fixed schedule or quantity. Generally, feed them every 3 hours, and you can feed them when they cry (unless it’s for a bowel movement or urination). If you touch the corner of their mouth and they show an eating response, you can feed them. Initially, you can start with 30 milliliters, and then gradually increase according to the baby’s needs. Young mothers can gradually explore their experience, and once they have some experience, they will understand how often to feed and how much is appropriate. Wishing you good health!
