A. most of the babies need sleeping 3 to 4 hours continuously without going feed probably some babies can sleep little bit more time if baby is passing adequate urine and taking feeding normally no need to worry

A. Hi, please make sure to feed once in every two hours. If baby is sleeping also take, your baby gently onto your lap and feed.Burp your baby well and put the baby back to sleep. 4 to 5hr is a very long gap. The babies throat should not go dry.Write Your Answer Here
