Are feeding intervals counted from the time my baby starts or stops nursing?
You count the length between feedings from the time when your baby begins to nurse — rather than when they finish— to when your little one starts to nurse again.
For example if your child starts nursing at 8AM, 10AM then at Noon, when asked by your doctor how often your baby is feeding, you can say “about every 2 hours”.
This means that you may feel like you’re nursing around the clock (especially if your newborn likes to take their time while breastfeeding) which is completely normal. Soon enough, you’ll both be on a more routine, predictable schedule.
