Newborn babies typically eat every 2-3 hours, meaning 8-12 times daily. This frequency may not be very regular in the first weeks — sometimes they want to eat in 1.5 hours, sometimes 4 hours apart; this is normal. What matters is that your baby has 6-8 wet diapers daily and gains weight steadily. If baby is sleeping well, wake them for feeding during the first few weeks if more than 3-4 hours have passed; once weight gain is good, you can wait for baby to wake at night.
