But here are Sarah\u2019s top six tips for getting started.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Baby doesn\u2019t need anything but breast milk or formula for the first six months. Babies don\u2019t need extra water because they\u2019re getting everything they need through breast milk or formula.<\/li>\n<li>Baby won\u2019t start solid foods until about six months or when your pediatrician recommends is best.<\/li>\n<li>A newborn will drink about 0.5-3 ounces of milk at each feeding. When a baby is first born, their tummy is very tiny \u2013 about the size of a marble \u2013 so they don\u2019t need a lot to fill it up.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ve probably heard the old wives tale don&#8217;t wake a sleeping baby. However, you should wake your baby to feed every two to three hours in the beginning. If it\u2019s time to eat and they\u2019re still sleeping, try skin to skin. If they haven\u2019t woken up in 15 minutes, you could try getting them up and moving: change a diaper, change clothes, walk baby around or hold baby upright and facing out.<\/li>\n<li>Breastfed babies should be fed on cue \u2013 when they show signs of hunger, such as sucking on hands or looking for your nipple if they\u2019re being held \u2013 because they\u2019re still figuring out how to nurse.<\/li>\n<li>Babies will lose weight in the first few days after delivery, and that\u2019s perfectly normal. After about four to five days, baby will start to gain the lost weight or exceed birth weight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How much should a baby eat?<\/h2>\n<h3>Breastfed babies<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cOne of the biggest concerns breastfeeding mamas have is if their baby is getting enough milk,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>Since you can\u2019t see how much milk is coming out, you can\u2019t tell how much milk baby is taking in.<\/p>\n<p>Breast milk changes along with babies. Because baby\u2019s tummy starts tiny, mom will make a tiny amount of milk. As the baby\u2019s tummy gets bigger, mom will produce more milk because there\u2019s a higher demand,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>In the first few weeks, babies eat smaller portions more often throughout the day and night. It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not making enough milk. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/blog\/6-tips-to-treat-breast-engorgement-while-breastfeeding\">As your milk supply increases, you may also notice breast fullness or engorgement<\/a>. This is a normal sign your body is responding to your baby\u2019s growing needs.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t breastfeed your baby too often, but you can breastfeed too infrequently. It\u2019s up to mom and baby to decide how long to breastfeed, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/aapnews\/news\/20528\/Updated-AAP-guidance-recommends-longer?_gl=1*1usclii*_ga*NDAyNjMwMDE3LjE3NzEzNTkxNDc.*_ga_FD9D3XZVQQ*czE3NzEzNTkxNDYkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzEzNTkxODYkajIwJGwwJGgw*_gcl_au*NDgwMjM5MjMxLjE3NzEzNTkxNDY.*_ga_GMZCQS1K47*czE3NzEzNTkxNDckbzEkZzEkdDE3NzEzNTkxODYkajIxJGwwJGgw?autologincheck=redirected\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding up until age 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Bottle-feeding newborn<\/h3>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s pumped breast milk or baby formula\u00a0, bottle feeding may be the route to go. You can do exclusively bottle feeding or a mixture of bottle and breastfeeding. The breastfeeding and formula feeding schedule is about the same. Baby eats smaller portions frequently throughout the day and night \u2013 about eight to 12 times each day.<\/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<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/blog\/baby-superfood-the-benefits-of-breast-milk\">If you\u2019re pumping, a breast milk storage chart<\/a> can help you know exactly how long milk can be safely kept at room temperature or in the fridge or freezer.<\/p>\n<p>Babies who are bottle fed may take in more air while eating, leading to gassiness and fussiness. Taking a break in the middle of a feeding to burp your baby may help. And, if you\u2019re feeding your baby a lot, try giving fewer ounces at the next feeding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGone are the days when a baby needs to eat seven or eight ounces per feeding. Four to six ounces should do,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>When babies stop drinking formula around age 1, they\u2019re usually ready to eat exclusively solid foods and drink cow or nut milk.<\/p>\n<h2>How to bottle feed<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWhoever is feeding baby should hold the bottle. Never prop the bottle against something,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alignright cta\">\n<p>Questions about feeding your baby?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osfhealthcare.org\/providers\">Talk to your baby\u2019s pediatrician<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If the baby starts to cough or choke while drinking from a bottle, make sure you\u2019re holding baby in a good position \u2013 baby\u2019s ear, shoulder and hip should all be aligned.<\/p>\n<p>The type of bottle or nipple may be causing a problem, too. Baby may be getting too much liquid out with each gulp, which can cause them to choke. Talk to your pediatrician about the best bottle and nipple options for your baby.<\/p>\n<p>If your baby is choking often, definitely talk to your baby\u2019s pediatrician. It may be a sign that your baby has reflux, a tongue tie or hasn\u2019t figured out the right sucking motion.<\/p>\n<h2>Cluster feeding a newborn<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes babies want to eat frequently in a short span of time. This is called cluster feeding. It may be exhausting for mom, but it likely only last a few days.<\/p>\n<p>A baby will most likely cluster feed in the first few months, but some babies don\u2019t cluster feed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen babies do cluster feed, it could be a sign they\u2019re going through a growth spurt or they\u2019re just looking for some extra comfort,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n<p>Cluster feeding is often thought of as happening only to breastfed babies, but that isn\u2019t always the case. Formula-fed babies often fall into the habit of cluster feeding, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Signs of cluster feeding might include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shorter intervals between each feeding<\/li>\n<li>Shorter naps<\/li>\n<li>Crabbiness<\/li>\n<li>Breaks suction on breast and returns a few minutes later<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re breastfeeding or formula feeding your baby, they\u2019ve got to eat.
