Feeding interval for a 15-day-old baby?

What's the feeding interval for a 15-day-old baby? I wanted to get your opinion before going to the doctor.

A feeding interval of every 2–3 hours is typical for a 15-day-old. That means your baby may want to feed 8–12 times per day — frequent, small feedings at this age are normal both because their stomach is tiny and to help establish milk supply. If your baby is urinating at least 6–8 times per day and gaining weight well (babies typically reach their birth weight within 10–14 days), you don't need to worry about feeding frequency. "Frequent and small portions" is what we expect in the early weeks.
When to see your pediatrician:
- Fewer than 6 wet diapers in 24 hours
- Baby is hard to wake or refusing to feed
- Signs of jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes, lethargy)
In these cases, don't wait to contact your doctor.
If anything else is on your mind, feel free to ask.
