Medical - Medical: Health Care / lactation | | English term or phrase: (For these first few weeks), you can't nurse too frequently. | (Durante las primeras semanas de vida), no importa si el bebé está amamantando/tomando pecho con mucha frecuencia/muy seguido.
That's my translation, but I am not liking the way it flows. I left the options for "nurse" and "frequently" on purpose so the suggestions focus more on the intention than on the specific terms.
Thank you in advance, this is part of a educational video script for new moms. |

9 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +2 | (for these first few weeks), you can't nurse too frequently. (durante estas primeras semanas) no hace falta limitar las veces que amamanta el bebé
Explanation:
It doesn't sound quite right when I've tried more literal translations, so maybe this would do.
Can't do something too often = you can do it as often as you want

25 mins confidence: | (for these first few weeks), you can't nurse too frequently. (Durante estas pocas primeras semanas), no puede amamantar a su bebé frecuentemente
Explanation:
Aunque haría falta más contexto, "you can't" significa *no puede", por las razones que sean que limitan a la madre de darle el pecho a su criatura.
