For babies, that superfood is breast milk.<\/p>\n<p>And although breastfeeding is natural, that doesn\u2019t always mean that it\u2019s natural to figure out. Many moms have lots of questions: How long should you breastfeed? Is my baby getting enough milk? Why is my baby feeding all the time?<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Musselman, RN, a lactation specialist at OSF HealthCare, answered these questions and shared the many benefits of breast milk.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Breastfeeding Tips for new moms\" src=\"https:\/\/freshpaint-video.com\/d7bef322-4e14-46ae-bccd-a1dc9ff764d7\/af14ef5d-2475-4506-9ed3-5f7e8435d7fa\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s in breast milk?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cHuman breast milk contains everything that a baby needs to grow and develop,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>Breast milk is full of <a href=\"https:\/\/healthlibrary.osfhealthcare.org\/RelatedItems\/90,P02339\">essential nutrients<\/a> for your baby like proteins, fats and vitamins. These perfectly nourish their body to hit their growth and development milestones.<\/p>\n<p>Because a baby\u2019s immune system is not fully developed, a mom\u2019s body creates antibodies. These flow from the breast milk to the baby\u2019s body, helping to build up their natural immunities.<\/p>\n<p>However, breastfeeding cannot replace vaccines. Over the centuries, scientists and doctors developed vaccinations to safely give a baby to help keep deadly diseases from spreading.<\/p>\n<p>Breast milk can even help babies later in life by decreasing their likelihood of experiencing obesity, diabetes and asthma.<\/p>\n<h2>How much to feed your baby<\/h2>\n<p>Breast milk changes to meet a baby\u2019s developmental and physical milestones.<\/p>\n<p>Even before your baby is born, your body will start making a yellowish milk called <a href=\"https:\/\/healthlibrary.osfhealthcare.org\/Search\/3,85662\">colostrum<\/a> during the second trimester.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe kind of confuse moms by calling it colostrum, but it is milk,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>When a baby is first born, their stomach is about the size of a marble. A mom usually makes a tiny quantity of milk to feed a tiny baby tummy.\u00a0It usually takes mom\u2019s milk about two to four days to come in after delivery of the baby and placenta.<\/p>\n<p>As the baby grows, so does their tummy. They\u2019ll start to drink more milk, which will tell your body to make a bigger volume of milk.<\/p>\n<p>Know how much a <a href=\"https:\/\/healthlibrary.osfhealthcare.org\/Search\/85,P00990\">breastfed baby eats<\/a> throughout the day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First three months: Seven to twelve times per 24 hours<\/li>\n<li>Three to six months: Six to eight times per 24 hours<\/li>\n<li>Six months to one year: About four to six times per 24 hours. Babies start to eat solid foods around six months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How long should I breastfeed my baby each time?<\/h2>\n<p>Babies will typically nurse about 10-15 minutes on each breast, but don\u2019t worry if it\u2019s more or less than that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve heard a lot of moms worry about how long a baby breastfeeds on each side, but it\u2019s typical for one breast to make more than the other,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>A baby will decide how long you should<a href=\"https:\/\/healthlibrary.osfhealthcare.org\/Search\/90,P02865\"> breastfeed<\/a> each time. Just like adults, babies are hungry for different amounts of food at different times of the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs adults, sometimes we just want a snack, sometimes we want a full buffet\u2019s worth of food and sometimes we just want a drink. A baby is the same way,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alignright cta\">\n<p>Questions about breastfeeding?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfmychart.org\/\">Ask your pediatrician about a lactation specialist<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Many moms fear their breast milk isn\u2019t filling baby well enough. But, Sarah says, your infant is getting filled well. Breastfeeding is a supply and demand situation. The more you\u2019re breastfeeding and pumping, the more milk your body will produce. With time, you\u2019ll really get to know your baby and when they\u2019re hungry or full.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re breastfeeding, there\u2019s no way to measure how much milk comes out,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>Your baby will take as much they want to eat, and that will signal your body to make more milk.<\/p>\n<p>If your body isn\u2019t producing enough or your baby is showing signs of hunger \u2013 such as being lethargic or losing too much weight after the first week \u2013 talk to the pediatrician or a lactation consultant. You may not be getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/blog\/?p=17293&amp;preview=true\">good latch<\/a> or need some kind of intervention.<\/p>\n<h2>Newborn breastfeeding schedule<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s typical for newborns to eat about every hour and a half to three hours. If your baby is sleeping through a feeding, it\u2019s OK to wake them up to feed them.<\/p>\n<p>Moms and babies can decide how long to breastfeed, however <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aap.org\/en\/patient-care\/breastfeeding\/\">The Academy of American Pediatrics<\/a> suggests breastfeeding until your baby turns 2 years old.<\/p>\n<p>When your baby starts to breastfeed less or if you\u2019ve decided to wean your baby, your body will slowly start to make less milk. This lack of demand will cause your breast milk to dry up and eventually will make your body stop producing breast milk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe older your baby gets, they naturally become less interested in breastfeeding, either because they\u2019re busy or get easily distracted or because they\u2019re starting on solid foods,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<h2>Cluster feeding<\/h2>\n<p>After a while, a mom will get to know what is typical for her breastfeeding baby. But babies are going to sometimes do their own thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany babies get in the habit of cluster feeding, which is when babies feed in close intervals many times a day,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>There can be many explanations. Baby could be going through a growth spurt or baby could just be using mom\u2019s breast as a comfort.<\/p>\n<h2>How much milk should I be pumping?<\/h2>\n<p>Moms may choose to exclusively do breast pumping or set up a breastfeeding and pumping schedule. You don\u2019t have to pump if you breastfeed, unless you feel you need to \u2013 for example, if your breasts are engorged or you\u2019re ready to introduce a relief bottle for someone else to feed.<\/p>\n<p>Pump as much as your baby needs, but don\u2019t pump until you\u2019re empty, because you\u2019ll just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/blog\/6-tips-to-treat-breast-engorgement-while-breastfeeding\">fill up again<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Store Breast Milk<\/h2>\n<p>When you pump, storing your breast milk safely helps it stay fresh and ready for your baby. Make sure to use clean, BPA-free plastic bottles or breast milk storage bags to prevent contamination. It\u2019s best to write the date the milk was expressed and amount on each container, so you always know exactly what you have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStore your pumped breast milk in the amount that your baby will eat. That way you\u2019re not defrosting too much at once or a full bag of one and a half bag of another,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17654\" style=\"width: 242px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osf-blog.live.imagescape.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Breastmilk-Storage-Guidelines_SM_1440x1800_02-26_FIN-240x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17654\" class=\"wp-image-17654 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/osf-blog.live.imagescape.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Breastmilk-Storage-Guidelines_SM_1440x1800_02-26_FIN-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"baby feeding tracker\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17654\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Breast Milk Storage Guidelines <br \/><a class=\"callout-button callout-button-small\" href=\"https:\/\/osf-blog.live.imagescape.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Breastmilk-Storage-Guidelines_SM_1440x1800_02-26_FIN-240x300.jpg\">Download<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>When does breastfeeding become easy?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIt takes a new mom about two to six weeks to get the hang of breastfeeding,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>If exclusively breastfeeding isn\u2019t working, it\u2019s perfectly safe to breastfeed and bottle feed at the same time.
