Feeding:

                Food is the basic need of an infant. Babies cannot talk so they ask for food by gestures. Sometimes they cry out or pointing a finger towards the mouth. A baby requires food at each 2-3 hours of interval. Normally it is advised that babies should be fed on demand. You can breastfeed your baby or give formula food too.

                If you are breastfeeding consider 30 minutes on the total process. But it is difficult a little bit to monitor the quantity intake. If you feel your breasts become less full after feeding then it is considered that baby has got sufficient food.

                In the case of formula feeding, a baby generally takes about 60-90 milliliters (2-3 ounces) at each feeding. It is easy to track if the baby has been provided enough food.

                If you see your baby is gaining weight regularly and physically fit, no need to worry about feeding.

Burping:

        If your baby has a tendency of gas and becomes fussy during feeding try burping. It should be performed in every 5 minutes during feeding. You can take references from parentinn.com regarding this.
