Emotions are healthy reactions to difficult situations. These emotions will not disappear. It is important that parents accept their feelings and use the coping skills they have developed over the years. Feeding Times Most babies set up their own regular feeding times . Some babies may like to eat every 3 or 4 hours and some prefer eating more often than that.
Newborn babies drink only breast milk or formula and water.
Keeping track of when your baby is hungry may give you an idea of your baby's feeding pattern. It may help to write down the times that the baby eats for several days to see what her pattern of eating is. Remember, your baby may not be hungry every time she is fussy. She may need burping, a diaper changed, or she may just want to be held. Breastfeeding Breastfeeding is a nutritious, healthy, and economical way of feeding your baby.
