Congratulations on your new role as a mother! For a one-month-old baby, breastfeeding is typically on demand. Instead of focusing on a strict clock, watch for your baby's hunger cues like rooting, mouth movements, or fussiness. Generally, newborns feed 8 to 12 times in 24 hours. Let your baby feed from one breast until they seem satisfied or the breast feels softer, which could be anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, sometimes even longer.
Once they've finished with the first breast, offer the second. If they take it, wonderful; if not, you can start with the second breast at the next feeding. Ensure your baby is actively sucking and swallowing, not just comfort nursing. The best indicators that your baby is getting enough milk are adequate wet diapers (6-8 per day) and healthy weight gain.
