A. Dear ma’am, in the initial few months your baby needs frequent feeds not only to meet his nutrients needs but also to maintain and boost your milk supply. At night you can give a gap of upto five hours max. Night time prolactin levels will be high and helps improve your supply. You can dream feed your baby if he doesn’t wake up for a feed
