Baby food in the first month:
Here are some important points to consider regarding nutrition:
- You don't have to set a strict schedule and insist that your baby breastfeed for a set amount of time or take 120ml (120ml) at each feed.
- During the first month babies show interest in being breastfed and may put their fist in their mouth and start sucking.
- Crying is a late sign of hunger, and it's easier to get a baby to latch on and feed when he shows early signs of wanting to nurse.
- You should feed your baby at least every two to three hours on demand, with attempts to breastfeed him eight to twelve times a day.
- During the first month your baby has to breastfeed day and night, and it can be annoying if your baby is not getting enough to eat.
- Generally your baby will feed adequately in about fifteen to twenty minutes, and by this time you may feel drowsy or asleep.
- If your baby is still hungry after feeding, offer him the other breast.
