#AskTheExpert Hi I'm Neha, my baby is 2 months 12 days old. Recently his sleeping pattern has changed. he sleeps 4 to 5 hours during the night without waking up for feed in between. Is it ok? or should I wake him up in between to feed? Also he sleeps less during the day. Thanks.

A. Dear mum, sleeping pattern varies from baby to baby. It’s fine if your baby sleeps for 4 to 5 hours at a stretch. You should feed on demand that is whenever baby wants and how much baby wants. Let baby guide the feeding process.
