A. During first two months you should very necessary maintain a gap of two hours between two feedings - day and night both. But after completing two months it is advisable to feed your baby only on demand and do not give any forceful feeding on particular timings The feeding should be done atleast 10 minutes.

A. It's generally recommended to wake a 1-month-old baby for night feedings, as they need to feed every 2-3 hours to ensure they're getting enough nutrition for healthy growth and development. However, if your baby is gaining weight well and your pediatrician has given you the green light to let them sleep longer stretches at night, you may not need to wake them for every feeding. Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your baby's specific needs.
