Is it generalized about feed on demand

2023-11-17 10:41:42
Hi, I have heard from many doctors that we should feed babies as per demand and not necessarily in particular schedules. So I wanna know if this is applicable to all the babies or only to particular ones??? My son is 3.5 months old and we usually feed him every 1 or 2 hrs because if we follow the above formula he won't take the feed then. Because he will play continuously for hours without feed and sleep, then will become cranky to handle. So what actually should be followed to maintain the increasing weight and feeding well??

Hello, you can follow either demand feeding or 2nd hrly feeding. Atleast should feed 8-10 times per day of 20-30 mins.

Exclusive breast feeding is 10-12 feeds every 2 hourly per day including night time feeds if child is gaing weight, passing urine every 6hourly, and active no need to worry. Child is feeding adequately

At 3.5month, it should be on demand. Not every 2 hourly.
