Answer 1

Answer:

Breastfed newborns typically require more frequent feedings than formula-fed infants.

Explanation:

It's worthy to note that Breastfed babies do require more breastmilk or food intake intake often than babies who are formula fed, because breast milk undergoes digestion at a quicker rate than formula. In layman terms, mom might need to breastfeed every 2 or 3 hours (it maybe more, maybe less) during first few weeks.
