Accepted Answer

When a child is expecting you to feed the child whole night then that’s mostly not due to hunger it is just that your child is awake and your child want something in the mouth so instead of breastfeeding I’d advise you to go ahead with giving formula feeding to the child only during the night time because this way your child will be full for a longer duration and you never know maybe your child is going to sleep again once the stomach is fullWrite Your Answer Here
