You should breastfeed as soon as possible after giving birth. Then, breastfeed your baby at least eight to 12 times every 24 hours so that you will make plenty of milk. This means that in the first few days after birth, your baby will likely need to breastfeed about every one to two hours during the day and a few times at night.
Healthy babies develop their own feeding patterns. Follow your baby\’s cues for when he or she is ready to eat.
