POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. It’s totally normal for a baby to wake every 2 hours at night for feeding, especially in the first several months. At 12 days old (or even a few months old), babies have small stomachs and need frequent feeds, including at night.
Here’s what to know and some tips:
Why babies wake frequently: Their tiny stomachs digest milk quickly, so they get hungry often. Night waking is part of their natural sleep cycle and growth needs. Feeding at night helps with bonding and milk supply if you’re breastfeeding. Tips to help: Create a calm bedtime routine: Gentle lullabies, dim lights, and a quiet environment. Feed fully during the day: Try to feed your baby well during daytime hours so he gets more calories then. Keep night feedings calm and quiet: Avoid bright lights or too much interaction to help him settle back to sleep. Swaddling or using a sleep sack can help some babies feel secure and sleep longer. Ensure comfortable sleeping environment: Not too hot or cold, comfortable bedding. When to be concerned: If your baby is fussy or inconsolable at night. If he’s not gaining weight well. If you notice any signs of illness.
Remember, babies gradually start sleeping for longer stretches as they grow, usually around 3-6 months. Until then, frequent waking is very normal.
