POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. Newborns should be nursed anytime they cue hunger, but at least every 2 hours during the day and at least once during the night. Once your baby has established a good weight gain pattern (at least 4 ounces per week, for babies under 4 months), you can stop waking baby to nurse and let him set his own pattern.Remember that night waking in babies and young children is normal and temporary! Children grow out of night waking, even when we do nothing to discourage it. This period of time will be a very tiny part of your child's years with you.In most cases, your newborn is awake at night during short phases of those early months of life. It can seem like an eternity when you're exhausted, but it often lasts for just a few days or weeks. It's also likely that most of the reasons your little one is awake are temporary, and not emergencies.
