How should the feeding schedule be for a 2-3 month old? Should i wake the baby up every 2-3 hours for feeding or should I feed him on demand (which could go for 3-5 hours)?

A. Dear mum, there is no need to wake up your baby every 2 to 3 hours. You should feed your baby on demand. If baby is active, alert and passing urine more than 6 to 8 times in 24 hours, then feeding is adequate.
