How often do you need to feed baby?

Answer 1

How often babies need to be fed depends on their age, size, and how much they are eating at one time. Generally babies under 4 months old eat about every 2 hours, but go for longer stretches without eating while sleeping at night. After 4 months babies space their feedings farther apart and eat more at once. They are fed closer to every 3-4 hours at this age. Once babies start eating solid foods, their feedings will change too. There is no set feeding time for babies. It is best to take cues from baby about when he or she is hungry.
