Q.

Hi, my baby is about to complete 3 months, usually I feed him every 2 hours, during day and night as it is formula milk, sometimes during the nights the time may exceed 3 or 4 hours, is it fine or is it compulsory to feed every 2 hours during nights also

A. Dear parent, if you are feeding your baby at a gap of 3 to 4 hours. If your baby is active, alert and passing urine more than 7 times in 24 hours then feeding is sufficient.
