Baby Feeding Facts

By the fifth week, expect your baby to settle into a feeding routine:

• Feeding six to eight times a day
•  Taking in two to five ounces at each feeding
• Nursing five to 10 minutes on each breast (your milk supply is most likely established by now)
  

Your baby is feeding well if she is:

• Wetting around six diapers each day
• Growing and gaining weight
  

TIP
If your baby is suddenly feeding more often, she may be going through a growth spurt, which usually happens at around six weeks of age.
