Newborns should not go more than about 4 hours without feeding, even overnight. Some might feed every 90 minutes, whereas others might go 2–3 hours between feedings. As newborns get older, they'll nurse less often, and may have a more predictable schedule. In the first few weeks of life, breastfeeding should be on demand, which is about every 1-1/2 to 3 hours. By the time your baby is 1–2 months old, he or she probably will nurse 7–9 times a day. Soon enough, your baby will go longer between feedings.

Babies tend to feed little and often, so they may not finish their bottle. Although most babies gradually settle into a feeding routine, they vary in how often they want to feed. You can expect night feeds to reduce as your baby gets older. A big feed does not mean that your baby will go longer between feeds. Your baby is likely to need night feeds for at least the first few months of their life. Feed your baby when they show signs that they are hungry.
