Answer by  dedre (998)

All newborn babies vary on eating patterns with several factors involved. Some factors that determine how much and often a newborn eats is his or or her size and health. Premature babies will normally require a bigger feeding schedule than a full term newborn. In general, newborn babies will eat every two to four hours.

This really depends on if the baby was carried to full term or was a premature birth. They usually eat ever 3 hours if they are premature. If they were carried to full term ever 4 hours.
