Your breastfeeding questions answered
How often does my baby need to breastfeed?
All mothers and babies are different, and you and your baby will work out your own feeding pattern together.
As a very rough guide, your baby should feed at least 8 times every 24 hours during the first few weeks.
Do not worry about feeding your baby whenever either of you wants to. You cannot overfeed a breastfed baby, and your baby will not become spoiled or demanding if you feed them whenever they're hungry or need comfort.
How long should each breastfeed last?
Every baby is different.
What age to stop breastfeeding
Some babies want frequent short feeds, and others prefer feeding for longer, or a mixture of both. Let your baby finish the first breast, then offer the second.
If your baby feeds all the time and you're worried, speak to a midwife, health visitor or a breastfeeding specialist.
You may need some help with positioning and attachment. You can also call the National Breastfeeding Helpline on 0300 100 0212.
