The child should nurse every two or three hours

Myth. There is a rule and periodicity varies baby. The only recommendation is that the mother provides the milk "on demand", ie, every time the baby feel hungry. Some children with the weeks passed, will create your own hours and it is common to want to nurse every two or three hours, but it is important that the mother does not restrict breastfeeding if the baby prefers to suck on a range greater or lesser time. Anyway, it's good to keep an eye: if he wants to nurse every hour, you are probably eating a little milk and it is good to ask for guidance from a professional to identify the problem. Another caveat is that babies who sleep too must be agreed every four hours to feed. This prevents dehydration cases, jaundice, and hypoglycemia.
