baby breastfeeding times?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The breastfeeding frequency of babies varies by age and needs. In the newborn period (0-2 months), babies usually want to nurse every 2-3 hours, 8-12 times a day. Between 2-4 months, intervals increase to 2.5-3.5 hours, at 4-6 months to 3-4 hours, and nighttime sleep can extend. After 6 months, with the introduction of solids, breastfeeding frequency decreases to 4-6 times a day, but every baby is different. What matters is not the schedule, but the baby's hunger cues (putting hand to mouth, making sucking sounds, turning head). If there are 5-6 wet diapers a day and steady weight gain, breastfeeding frequency can be considered adequate.
