A. sleep will be taken according to the need of the child so if the growth of the child is proper do not worry much about the sleeping pattern and sleep hoursx and it will obviously change from time to time and then stabilize. if overall the child is play full and is well responding then do not worry about the hours of sleep and they will not have any problem. (please note if sleepx is inadequate then growth will not be proper so if growth is proper then no need to worry about sleep)

A. Yes it is totally fine there is no problem with that as a lot of times kids can sleep for longer stress sometimes you wake up every two or three hours to take a feeding it would completely depend when the child is hungry and sometimes they just pull their or push their legs when they don’t want to take care keep a blanket blanket on them or sometimes due to discomfort in the night

Mom of a 1 m old girl

Q. My family says that they used to let a baby sleep for good 5-6 hours as they grow in sleep. But now it is said that we must wake them up every 3-4 hours at least for feed. I am really confused. Once in 2-3 days my 2 month daughter tends to sleep for 6 hours straight. Should I let this happen and let her sleep for straight 6 hours ? Other times in the day she is only taking power naps. Night time she will sleep straight for 4-5 hours and wake up automatically for feed. Please suggest
