In primitive society, this was handled my giving the baby to another woman that produces fully lactating breast milk. As of now, you could also start giving the baby bottled milk and try to let someone try soothing the baby between feedings.
If you are talking about a newborn breastfed baby, it should be fed every 3-4 hours, that means that the baby is fed 6-8 times a day. If you feed your baby with a some kind of formula than the period between the feedings can be a bit longer. After six months of live the bay should start having non-milk food.
Timely care refers to a structured routine for a baby. This means caring for a baby on a schedule, such as scheduled feedings.
Supplementary Feedings: Feedings provided in place of breastfeeding. This may include expressed or banked breast milk. Any foods given prior to 6 months, the recommended duration of exclusive feeding, are thus defined as supplementary.Complementary Feedings: Feedings provided in addition to breastfeeding. This term is used to describe foods given in n addition to breastfeeding after 6 months, a "complement" to breastfeeding needed for adequate nutrition.

Yes. So can a 1-month-old baby.
Congratulations on your decision to breastfeed! A woman's milk supply is regulated by her baby's milk demand. After the milk comes in (a few days after giving birth), the mother's supply may be higher or lower than what the baby needs. After a few days, the mother should be able to produce enough to meet the baby's needs. Over time, many women choose to wean their babies and only breastfeed a few times a day. As long as you are consistent and feed your baby twice a day around the same time each day, your supply will adapt and will only produce enough milk to satisfy the baby for those two feedings. It's important to note that if you are nursing your baby for more than these two feedings that you gradually decrease to only two feedings a day (eliminate one feeding each week). Failure to decrease the feedings could result in a plugged duct or mastitis.
You can't. You'll have to wake the baby up first. If you think your baby is sleeping too much and through his or her feedings, talk to your doctor about possibly waking him up to feed.
