A. dear mum, the number of feedings at night and also the gap between feeding depends upon your baby's demand. if baby is active, alert and passing urine more than 7 times in 24 hours then feeding is sufficient.

Q. #asktheexpert hi I have a premie son who was born at 30 weeks and is currently 36 weeks. Since his discharge from the NICU, his feedings hours during the nights have shortened to 1/1.5 hours at night from 3 hours and he only likes to be held at night for sleeping.
