And this is true for everyone, whether you\u2019re a celebrity, a famous influencer, or a regular person. The good news is that both medicine and science have evolved, and you have plenty of options when it comes to feeding and caring for a newborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, with so many parent influencers and online communities, you can connect with other parents and learn from their shared experiences. However, with this much content out there, it can be difficult to know whom to listen to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give you a bit of a head start on this exciting journey, we put together a list of some of the most common feeding routines that both doctors and influencers recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-exclusive-breastfeeding\"><strong><em>1. <\/em>Exclusive Breastfeeding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breastfeeding is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/nutrition\/why-breastfeeding-best-babies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the best feeding solution<\/a> for your newborn in the first months of life. It is not always possible, but if the new mom and baby are happy with this arrangement, go for it. However, it\u2019s important to know that breast milk is digested faster than formula, so babies tend to eat more frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard frequency is 8 to 12 times per 24 hours. So, your baby may ask for food every 1.5 to 3 hours. To know when it\u2019s time to stop, look out for signs of fullness, such as the baby\u2019s hands transitioning from tight fists to open, relaxed palms, or falling asleep while feeding.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-exclusive-formula-feeding\"><strong><em>2.<\/em> Exclusive Formula Feeding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though many parenting influencers promote exclusive breastfeeding, there are lots of reasons why an exclusive formula feeding routine makes sense. So, if you make this decision after talking with your doctor, there\u2019s nothing to worry about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern infant formula is a sophisticated, highly regulated alternative designed to ensure infants grow and thrive. One option to consider is <a href=\"https:\/\/formuland.com\/collections\/kabrita-formula\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kabrita formula<\/a>, which is made from goat milk and may be gentler on some infants&#8217; digestive systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formula takes longer to break down (compared to breast milk), so you may have slightly longer stretches between feeds. The standard frequency is 6 to 8 times per 24 hours, with feeding every 3 to 4 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/guilty-pleasures\/upholstery\/naomi-chair.php?utm_source=LH_Blog_Article&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=Banner_Article&amp;utm_content=naomi_chair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ext-campaign\/article\/kk-naomi-chair-750.jpg\" alt=\"Naomi chair by KOKET\" style=\"width:500px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-combo-feeding\"><strong><em>3.<\/em> Combo Feeding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feeding a combination of breast milk and formula is the most common feeding routine, especially for busy parents. Since, unlike many celebrities expecting their first bundle of joy, you don\u2019t have an army of nannies and chefs waiting on you hand and foot, this may be the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also works well if your supply is on the lower side and the baby needs more to feel satiated. Just make sure to create a balance between breastfeeding and formula. Specialists recommend 7 to 10 times per 24-hour period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a rule of thumb, parents use formula for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/baby\/dream-feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">dream feed<\/a> (late night) to encourage a longer sleep stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wrap-up\"><strong>Wrap Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best feeding routine is the one that fits you and your baby. You may like your favorite influencer\u2019s or celebrity\u2019s routine, but if your bundle of joy doesn\u2019t like it, there\u2019s nothing you can do. After all, they don\u2019t know that Kourtney Kardashian prefers to breastfeed while Adele is for formula and combo feeding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\" id=\"h-more-to-love\"><strong><em>More to Love!<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/2024\/01\/29\/3-tips-new-parents-savour-every-moment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3 Tips for New Parents Who Want to Savour Every Moment<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/2025\/05\/31\/designing-a-calm-functional-nursery-a-guide-to-thoughtful-baby-room-interiors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Designing a Calm, Functional Nursery: A Guide to Thoughtful Baby Room Interiors<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a new parent is not easy.
