Question
How can one determine the appropriate number of nighttime feedings for a full-month-old baby?
Answer
According to professional advice, nighttime breastfeeding for a full-month-old baby should be based on the infant’s needs, usually about every two hours. When a baby feels hungry, they will exhibit suckling movements and crying behaviors. Mothers should carefully observe their baby’s feeding responses to ensure they receive adequate nutrition. In some cases, if a baby cries persistently at night, even switching to formula feeding does not resolve the issue. Some mothers may lose the intimacy of feeding their baby in such situations.
