A newborn is typically breastfed 8-12 times per day. This means 2-3 times during the night, roughly every 3 hours—so about 3-4 times a night. Your baby will wake up hungry and want to nurse; you don't need to wake them up. If your baby is very sleepy and more than 3-4 hours have passed, you can try gently waking them to feed. Night nursing in the first weeks is important for both your baby's weight gain and establishing your milk supply. If your baby is gaining weight well, producing 6-8 wet diapers daily, and the color is good, this frequency is normal. Unless your doctor recommends otherwise, don't skip night feedings during the newborn period.
