Q. How often should a newborn be nursed?
A. You should nurse a newborn no less than 8 times a day, depending
upon how long he sleeps between feedings at night. If he can go four
hours between feedings, then you will probably feed him twice between
11pm and 7am. If you feed him right before he goes to bed, then you
may only have to get up one time during the night.
Q. How often should a newborn be nursed?
As a new mother, you probably will wonder whether your baby is sleeping
enough, or sleeping too much. There are guidelines of what to expect,
but of course these can vary from baby to baby. Even if you’ve had
children before, each baby will be different.

When you bring your new baby home, you probably will have the urge to
keep him near you at all times, especially when you (try to!) go to
sleep for the night. It makes sense to have a crib or cradle in your
bedroom at first, since it will minimize the distance you have to walk
to handle nighttime feedings.
