Frequently Asked Questions
1. How often should I be feeding my 2-month-old baby?
Your baby should be eating every 2-3 hours, or about 6-8 times a day. Follow your baby’s cues and feed when she is hungry. It’s important to remember that every baby is different and may have different feeding needs.

Every baby develops at their own pace, but if you are concerned about your baby’s development, talk to your pediatrician. They can perform a developmental screening and recommend any necessary interventions.
5. How can I soothe my fussy baby?
