Newborn babies should breastfeed 8–12 times per day for about the first month. Frequent feedings helps stimulate your milk production during the first few weeks. In the first few weeks of life, breastfeeding should be on demand, which is about every 1-1/2 to 3 hours. Some might feed every 90 minutes, whereas others might go 2–3 hours between feedings. Newborns should not go more than about 4 hours without feeding, even overnight. You can say about every 2 hours if your first feeding started at 6 a.m., the next feeding was around 8 a.m., then 10 a.m., and so on. Especially at first, you might feel like you're nursing around the clock, which is normal. Soon enough, your baby will go longer between feedings.

Although most babies gradually settle into a feeding routine, they vary in how often they want to feed. Babies tend to feed little and often, so they may not finish their bottle. Feed your baby when they show signs that they are hungry. Unused infant formula that has been kept at room temperature must be thrown away within 2 hours. If your baby is upset, try soothing them before feeding – a cuddle and some skin-to-skin contact may help. Babies cry for lots of different reasons. Your baby is likely to need night feeds for at least the first few months of their life. You can expect night feeds to reduce as your baby gets older.

Cluster feeding usually happens during the first 3 to 4 months. It's when your baby wants to feed even more frequently over a period of time. It's very normal and nothing to be concerned about. Your baby may want to cluster feed during the day or night. Your baby may cluster feed for a few days when they are going through a growth spurt. You can cluster feed formula milk, but it's important not to overfeed your baby.assistant Cluster feeding usually happens during the first 3 to 4 months.
