Hi, my baby boy is 1 mnth and 6 days old. His birth weight was 3.1 and now its around 3.4-3.5. He feeds well in day (every 2-3 hours) and wakes himself for the feed. But at night he doesn’t wake up for feed and sleeps at a stretch of 4-5 hours mostly without feeds. I give him formula 2 times, one in morning and one before sleep with addition of my feed. Is it fine for him to sleep this long at night?

Hey! There should be a minimum weight gain of 400 to 500g per month in the first few months. As long as your baby is feeding well enough the rest of the day, gradually gaining weight, passing adequate urine 6 to 8 times a day, there is no need to worry about night feeds.

Answer

Thank you for the response. He was 3.1 at birth, now he is at 3.6 kgs. Is this weight gain adequate?
