Newborn babies should breastfeed 8–12 times per day for about the first month. Breast milk is easily digested, so newborns are hungry often. Frequent feedings helps stimulate your milk production during the first few weeks. By the time your baby is 1–2 months old, he or she probably will nurse 7–9 times a day.

First Weeks and Months As your baby grows, his or her belly also grows. Your baby will gradually be able to drink more breast milk at each feeding. Over the first few weeks and months, the time between feedings will start to get longer— on average about every 2 to 4 hours for most exclusively breastfed babies.

Answer. As a dad, I sure loved those special times that I got to feed pumped breast milk. There is no one right amount to feed babies, but there are some good rules of thumb. Most newborns take two or three ounces at a time and by 4 weeks, the average amount has gone up to four ounces.

Make sure you're nursing or pumping at least 8 times a day. If you're exclusively pumping your breast milk for your baby, double pumping (pumping on both sides at once) will yield more milk and decrease the amount of time you spend pumping. Another way to boost your supply is to breastfeed and then pump.

As soon as possible, pump 8-10 times every 24 hours. This is how many times each day your baby would typically feed from the breast. In most cases, the more times each day you pump, the more milk you make. The reverse is true, too.

As a general guideline, expect your breastfed newborn to poop after almost every feeding, usually 5-12 times per day. After a few weeks, however, baby poop frequency will dwindle to 3-4 times per day. Babies older than six weeks may poop even less often – maybe even once a week.

It's generally recommended that babies be fed whenever they seem hungry, which is called demand feeding (or feeding on demand). Most newborns who are formula-fed feed every 2 to 3 hours.

Plan to breastfeed your baby in the morning before you go to work, then pump every 3 to 4 hours during the day (depending, of course, on your baby's frequency at home). That means that if you're away from your baby for 10 hours during the day, for instance, you'll be pumping at least 3 times at work.
