Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Newborn babies have very small nutritional needs, and a little bit is enough to meet their requirements. Newborn babies should be breastfed as soon as possible and frequently to stimulate milk production. In the initial period, there may be very little milk released, but that small amount, combined with the nutrients the baby has accumulated, can meet their needs. Breastfed babies do not need anything else from birth until they are 3 to 6 months old, not even water.
