Hi! My son is 7 months old. During night time he sleeps through the night. Doesn’t wakes up for feeds. But I am worried and wakes him and try to feed him. Is it ok to not feed or should I wake him up and feed? Pls help. Thank you

A. Dear mum, there is no need to wake up your baby at night for feeding, if your baby is not demanding. Feed your baby on demand. If baby is active, playful and passing urine more than 6 to 8 times a day then feeding is adequate.
