Breastfeeding: How long should you nurse?

Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding or using formula, feeding time is an important way to bond with your little one. But how often should you feed your child? And for how long should you breastfeed or bottle-feed?. The answer depends on a variety of factors including your baby’s age, their behavior and whether they are eating solids yet.
