Question

My baby has a bowel movement right after breastfeeding. Do I need to feed them again?

Answer

It’s important for babies to develop a regular feeding habit, which not only aids digestion but also contributes to high-quality sleep. For breastfed babies, it’s typically recommended to feed every 2.5 to 3 hours in the first month. For formula-fed babies, the frequency is usually every 3 to 5 hours (with amounts ranging from 70 to 100 milliliters, depending on the baby’s weight).
