As a new parent, you may be wondering how often your baby should nurse. The truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Newborns typically nurse 8-12 times per day, but as they grow and become more efficient, they may nurse less frequently. It's important to pay attention to your baby's hunger cues and to nurse on demand. This will ensure that your baby is getting enough milk and will also help establish a good milk supply. Additionally, nursing frequently can help prevent engorgement and plugged ducts. Remember, every baby is different and their nursing needs may vary. Trust your instincts and consult with a lactation consultant or healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
