Hello Doctor, Do we have to wake the newborn baby (7 days old) up in 2-3 hours for feeding? Or do we let them sleep as much as they want to? And how do we wake them up?

A. hi you should offer feeds as per your child needs ideally, newborn babies demand for feeds at gap of 2 or 3 hours but if baby is sleeping,it is ok to offer feeds at gap of 3-4 hours
