I feeded my 5 month old baby in the night at 3am and next feed was after 5 hours. Is it ok to give 5 hours gap?

A. Dear mum, feeding after 5 hours is fine, if your baby does not wake up. Feed as per your baby’s demand. If baby is active, alert and passing urine more than 7 times in 24 hours then feeding is sufficient.

A. It is ok, because if the baby is hungry they will wake up cry.
