Hello I have a 2.5 months old baby and he is on formula feed. At times, he wakes up after 5 hours for feed. Is it normal? The 5 hour gap is usually when he have around 150 ml in last feed. generally his intake his 90-120 ml and he drinks every 2.5-4 hours. Is it normal if there is a gap of 5 hours in one or two feeds in a day?
