#AskTheExpert my baby is 5 months old and she is on breastfeeding, till 4th month she used to sleep for 3-4hrs at one stretch at night and should only get up for feeding... but since she is 5 months old she wakes up at every 1-1.30 hr for feeding.... is it because she is not full at night?? do I need to start outside food for her??
