A. Dear ma’am, if the baby is taking frequent feeds during the day time, has adequate pee count and weight gain then at night you can give a gap of upto 4 hours.

A. Hello mom it’s fine not an issue at all as the baby will only sleep well once he is full enough with his feed as they can’t sustain their hunger , so if she is taking her feed well when awake and is gaining weight gradually not an issue
