As for the newborns, they asks for breastfeeding very often which is usually every 2-3 hours. However, every breastfeeding session can last between 20 to 30 min.

In addition, sometimes moms might experience ‘cluster feeding’ which is breastfeeding more frequently. This usually happens with some newborn babies at the beginning of the nursing process.
