A. hi mam No need to worry about this matter it is very common behavior seen in small babies. so no need to worry about this matter. if you're child sleep well then no need think about your child hunger because no any child take proper sleep without full tummy. if you're child is healthy and happy and active and take proper sleep and feed then no need to worry about anything else.
