(HealthDay News) -- It's important for new parents to understand what and how often your baby needs to eat, and how that schedule should change as your baby matures.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine offers these guidelines to help plan your baby's feeding:
* Babies who breast-feed typically need to be fed once every one to three hours.
* Babies on a diet of formula need to be fed every two to four hours, as formula takes longer to digest.
* You should never give a baby younger than 1 cow's milk, since it is difficult for an infant to digest.
