Breastfeeding on demand vs scheduled feeding—what’s the difference, and which is better for your baby? In this video, we explain everything you need to know about on-demand breastfeeding and scheduled breastfeeding so you can make the best choice for your newborn or infant.
Many new parents feel overwhelmed when deciding how often to breastfeed. Should you feed your baby every time they cry? Or should you stick to a strict feeding schedule? Understanding these two feeding approaches can help prevent common breastfeeding challenges such as low milk supply, poor weight gain, frequent fussiness, and feeding anxiety.
Breastfeeding on demand means feeding your baby whenever they show hunger cues, such as rooting, sucking on hands, lip smacking, or increased alertness. This method supports your baby’s natural feeding rhythm and helps establish a strong breast milk supply. Since breast milk production depends on supply and demand, frequent feeding signals your body to produce more milk.
Scheduled breastfeeding, on the other hand, involves feeding your baby at set intervals, like every two or three hours. Some parents prefer this method for routine and predictability. Scheduled feeding may be recommended in certain medical situations or for premature babies under professional guidance.
