How many meals does a baby eat a day?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Newborns don't need to be fed on a schedule; they can be fed anytime, anywhere. When the baby cries due to hunger, feed them immediately. If the newborn sleeps for more than 3 hours, wake them up for feeding. As the mother's milk supply increases with consumption, the baby will gradually fall into a routine after being fully fed, with longer sleep periods.
