A. Hello good evening !! Yes feed every two hours. If baby sleeps at a stretch then wake up baby by gently tickling ear or rub feet and feed him. Until one to one and half year you have to feed in middle of the night also either breastfeed or formula feed. Untill 5 completed months exclusive breast milk or formula milk is suggested and From 6 month onwards start semi solids once a day and rest of the day milk.
