Seek out early indications of feeding readiness. Clutching at fingers and fists, lip-smacking, and raising hands to the mouth are warning signs. Later cues include weeping and fussing. The earlier you start each feeding, the less probable it is that you’ll have to calm a fussy baby.Your baby may be full or just taking a break if they stop sucking, close their mouth, or turn away from the nipple or bottle. Prior to presenting your breast or the bottle again, try burping your baby or giving them a minute’s rest.Your infant may drink more milk during each feeding as they get older.

3. Think about taking supplements of vitamin D.
Consult your child’s physician about vitamin D supplements, particularly if you want to breastfeed. Vitamin D, which aids in your baby’s absorption of calcium and phosphorus—nutrients essential for strong bones—might be insufficient in breast milk.

4. Be prepared for changes in your baby’s feeding habits.
Not every day will your newborn eat the same amount. During growth spurts, which usually happen two to three weeks after delivery, your newborn may take more at each feeding or ask to be fed more frequently. Instead of strictly monitoring the time, act upon the first indications of hunger.

5. Take each feeding as an opportunity to strengthen your bond with your baby.
When your baby is being fed, keep them near to you. Keep your eyes on him or her. Use a soft voice when you speak. Make the most of every feeding to increase your baby’s sense of comfort, security, and trust.
